Dell ESRT Support

Introduction

This allows enabling the BIOS setup option for UEFI capsule updates without manually going into BIOS setup.

Build Requirements

For Dell support you will need libsmbios_c version 2.4.0 or later.

If you don't want or need this functionality you can use the -Dplugin_dell=false option.

Devices powered by the Dell Plugin

The Dell ESRT plugin allows the user to enable the UpdateCapsule functionality at runtime. A reboot will be required and the BIOS administrator password must not be set.

Machines that offer this functionality will display an extra device in # fwupdmgr get-devices output.

Example:
