History
Richard Hughes 85226fd9d1 Remove potentially problematic language 
Red Hat wants to drive an initiative in correcting problematic and potentially
divisive language in open source projects. These naming conventions and
descriptive phrases are hurtful and offensive to many of our colleagues across
the open source universe.

Dell ESRT Support

Introduction

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

GUID Generation

These device uses a hardcoded GUID of 2d47f29b-83a2-4f31-a2e8-63474f4d4c2e.

Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is hardcoded to PCI:0x1028.

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.
