fwupd - This project aims to make updating firmware on Linux automatic, safe, and reliable. https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd
This project is configured by default to download firmware from the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS).
If you have a device with firmware supported by fwupd, this is how you can check for updates and apply them using fwupd's command line tools.
Display all devices detected by fwupd:
# fwupdmgr get-devices
Download the latest metadata from LVFS:
# fwupdmgr refresh
If updates are available for any devices on the system, they'll be displayed:
# fwupdmgr get-updates
Download and apply all updates for your system:
# fwupdmgr update
- Updates that can be applied live will be done immediately.
- Updates that run at boot-up will be staged for the next reboot.
