![]() Future metadata from the LVFS will set the protocol the firmware is expected to use. As vendors love to re-use common terms like DFU for incompatible protocols, namespace them with the controlling company ID with an approximate reverse DNS namespace. This also allows more than one plugin to define support for the same protocol, for instance rts54hid+rts54hub and synapticsmst+dell-dock. |

Flashrom
Introduction
This plugin uses flashrom
to update the system firmware.
Firmware Format
The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in an unspecified binary file format, which is typically the raw input for an EEPROM programmer.
GUID Generation
These device uses hardware ID values which are derived from SMBIOS. They should
match the values provided by fwupdtool hwids
or the ComputerHardwareIds.exe
Windows utility.
