Richard Hughes 7afd7cba0d Use FuFirmware as a container for firmware images
In many plugins we've wanted to use ->prepare_firmware() to parse the firmware
ahead of ->detach() and ->write_firmware() but this has the limitation that it
can only return a single blob of data.

For many devices, multiple binary blobs are required from one parsed image,
for instance providing signatures, config and data blobs that have to be pushed
to the device in different way.

This also means we parse the firmware *before* we ask the user to detach.

Break the internal FuDevice API to support these firmware types as they become
more popular.

This also allows us to move the Intel HEX and SREC parsing out of the dfu plugin
as they are used by a few plugins now, and resolving symbols between plugins
isn't exactly awesome.

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

Quirk use

This plugin uses the following plugin-specific quirk:
