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
Update Behavior
A fastboot device usually presents in runtime mode (or with no interface), but if the user puts the device into fastboot mode using a physical button it then enumerates with a USB descriptor. On attach the device reboots to runtime mode which may mean the device "goes away".
For this reason the REPLUG_MATCH_GUID
internal device flag is used so that
the bootloader and runtime modes are treated as the same device.
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
External interface access
This plugin requires read/write access to /dev/bus/usb
.
