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.

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.
