![]() This allows us to make smarter policy decisions in the future on when to show unavailable updates. It also means we can show translated text in the frond-end clients. Only problems the user can "fix" are enumerated. For example, opening the laptop lid, or charging the device battery. |

Dell USB-C Dock
Dell System
Unlike previous Dell USB-C devices, a Dell system is not needed for updating.
Components
The device contains components the following directly updatable components:
- USB hubs
- MST controller
- Thunderbolt controller
- Embedded controller
This plugin is used to perform the update on the USB hubs as well as the Dell Embedded controller. The USB hubs are updated directly over a USB HID endpoint while the embedded controller is updated using an I2C over HID interface.
The fwupd thunderbolt plugin is used for updating the Titan Ridge controller.
The MST controller is updated through either the DP Aux interface (SynapticsMST plugin) or I2C over HID interface provided by this plugin.
Device topology
When this plugin is used, devices present in other plugins may be shown in the topology of this dock. This is intentional as this plugin works together with those plugins to manage the flashing of all components.
Firmware Format
The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract several firmware blobs with an unspecified binary file format.
This plugin supports the following protocol ID:
- com.dell.dock
- com.synaptics.mst
GUID Generation
These devices use several different generation schemes, e.g.
- USB Hub1:
USB\VID_413C&PID_B06F&hub
- USB Hub2:
USB\VID_413C&PID_B06E&hub
- Embedded Controller:
USB\VID_413C&PID_B06E&hub&embedded
- Update Level:
USB\VID_413C&PID_B06E&hub&status
- MST Hub:
MST-panamera-vmm5331-259
- Thunderbolt Controller:
TBT-00d4b070
- USB4 Controller:
TBT-00d4b071
Update Behavior
All devices will be updated the next time the usb-c plug from the dock is unplugged from the host.
Vendor ID Security
The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, in this instance set to USB:0x413C
