DFU Support

Introduction

Device Firmware Update is a standard that allows USB devices to be easily and safely updated by any operating system.

Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in DFU or DfuSe file format.

This plugin supports the following protocol IDs:

  • org.usb.dfu
  • com.st.dfuse

GUID Generation

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

  • USB\VID_273F&PID_1003&REV_0001
  • USB\VID_273F&PID_1003
  • USB\VID_273F

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, for example USB:0x0A12

Quirk use

This plugin uses the following plugin-specific quirks:

Quirk Description Minimum fwupd version
