![]() In 1de7cc we checked the version format when checking for update, but there are many other places that are doing verfmt-insensitive comparisons. For instance, the predicates in <requires> all fail if the device version format is plain. his breaks updating some NVMe drives where the `ne` requirements are not semantic versions. To avoid trying to catch all the bugs in different places, and in case we have a future verfmt that should be treated another way, refactor this out in to a common function and deprecate the old function. |

Adding a new plugin
An extensible architecture allows for providing new plugin types (for reading and writing different firmware) as well as ways quirk their behavior.
You can find more information about the architecture in the developers section of the fwupd website.
You can use the fwupd developer documentation to assist with APIs available to write the plugin.
If you have a firmware specification and would like to see support in this project, please file an issue and share the spec. Patches are also welcome.
We will not accept plugins that upgrade hardware using a proprietary Linux executable, proprietary UEFI executable, proprietary library, or DBus interface.
Plugin interaction
Some plugins may be able to influence the behavior of other plugins. This includes things like one plugin turning on a device, or providing missing metadata to another plugin.
The ABI for these interactions is defined in: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/blob/master/src/fu-device-metadata.h
All interactions between plugins should have the interface defined in that file.
