In the case where we can trigger the replug automatically we can have to wait for a USB re-enumeration (typically a few hundred ms) but when the user is requred to unplug, and then replug we have to wait a bit longer. The 'remove delay' allows us to modify per-device the removal delay. In the case the device does not show back up in the correct time the device will be auto-removed and the session will get a DeviceRemoved signal. In the case where the device in bootloader mode shows up within the timeout the session just gets a DeviceChanged event. For the duration of the delayed removal the flags for the device are set to zero to ensure the session does not try to interact with the device whilst re-enumerating. |

fwupd
This project aims to make updating firmware on Linux automatic, safe and reliable.
Additional information is available at the website: http://www.fwupd.org
Compiling
The most up to date compilation instructions are available in the Wiki
LVFS
This project is configured by default to download firmware from the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS).
This service is available to all OEMs and firmware creators who would like to make their firmware available to Linux users.
You can find more information about the technical details of creating a firmware capsule in the hardware vendors section of the fwupd website.
Basic usage flow (command line)
If you have a device with firmware supported by fwupd, this is how you will check for updates and apply them using fwupd's command line tools.
# fwupdmgr get-devices
This will display all devices detected by fwupd.
# fwupdmgr refresh
This will download the latest metadata from LVFS.
# fwupdmgr get-updates
If updates are available for any devices on the system, they'll be displayed.
# fwupdmgr update
This will download and apply all updates for your system.
- Updates that can be applied live (Online updates) will be done immediately.
- Updates that require a reboot (Offline updates) will be staged for the next reboot.
You can find more information about the update workflow in the end users section of the fwupd website.
Other frontends
Currently GNOME Software is the only graphical frontend available. When compiled with firmware support, it will check for updates periodically and automatically download firmware in the background.
After the firmware has been downloaded a popup will be displayed in Gnome Software to perform the update.
On Dell IoT gateways, Wyse Cloud Client Manager (CCM) has been built with fwupd support. The remote administration interface can be used to download and deploy firmware updates.
