Richard Hughes f50ff2c27e Decouple the version format from the version itself
If we say that the version format should be the same for the `version_lowest`
and the `version_bootloader` then it does not always make sense to set it at
the same time.

Moving the `version_format` to a standalone first-class property also means it
can be typically be set in the custom device `_init()` function, which means we
don't need to worry about *changing* ther version format as set by the USB and
UDev superclass helpers.

Fastboot Support

Introduction

This plugin is used to update hardware that uses the fastboot protocol.

Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in ZIP file format. Inside the zip file must be all the firmware images for each partition and a manifest file. The partition images can be in any format, but the manifest must be either an Android flashfile.xml format file, or a QFIL partition_nand.xml format file.

For both types, all partitions with a defined image found in the zip file will be updated.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

  • com.google.fastboot

GUID Generation

These devices use the standard USB DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.

  • USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE0&REV_0001
  • USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE0
  • USB\VID_18D1

Quirk use

This plugin uses the following plugin-specific quirk:

Quirk Description Minimum fwupd version
FastbootBlockSize Block size to use for transfers 1.2.2

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, for example USB:0x18D1
