Richard Hughes cddf5b5b89 Only auto-add counterpart GUIDs when required
Doing this unconditionally means we accidentally 'bleed' one device mode into
another in a non-obvious way. For instance, a device might have two operating
modes with different GUIDs. If firmware is supplied for both modes in the same
cabinet archive then we might accidentally match the 'wrong' firmware when
the daemon has observed a mode switch and added the counterpart GUIDs.

We only really need the counterpart GUIDs when switching between Jabra, 8bitdo
and DFU devices where the DFU bootloader VID:PID is not manually tagged with
`CounterpartGuid` in a quirk file. In the general case lets keep it simple to
avoid difficult to find bugs.

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
