Richard Hughes a512d91d43 Report the lockdown status from UEFI and SuperIO plugins
I was asked the other day how many machines would support a /dev/mem mmap'd
update mechanism, and I had to say that I didn't know. We use direct port IO in
the SuperIO plugin too, and it would be good to know how quickly we need to
port this to something else.

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.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

  • org.flashrom

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.

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the BIOS vendor, for example DMI:Google

External interface access

This plugin requires access to all interfaces that libflashrom has been compiled for. This typically is /sys/bus/spi but there may be other interfaces as well.
