# Heads update

The Heads update was tested on the `Lenovo ThinkPad x230`.

## Requirements

You need to build and flash Heads ROM from the
[3mdeb fork](https://github.com/3mdeb/heads/tree/qubes-fwupd).
You will find there Heads ROMs for ThinkPad x230.

## Update process

ThinkPad x230 is now the only laptop that has Heads ROM in the custom LVFS
storage. Nevertheless, qubes-fwupd has already implemented a `device` flag, that
will allow updates for other hardware.
