Make firmware for Lenovo LOQ series laptop available on LVFS/fwupmgr #461
Comments
@mrhpearson i appreciate this model isn't in the linux program, but is there anything you can share? e.g. a Lenovo-approved way of getting the capsule file out of the win32 exe perhaps -- then we can write up a nice doc about using |
My guess is that Lenovo isn't going to approve anything that hasn't been signed off on by QA. This has some validity - if you used a 'Lenovo sanctioned' method, but it's not tested, and then it goes wrong and your laptop gets bricked - Lenovo get's yelled at (and on the hook for the expense of repairs etc). |
Please help me understand...The LVFS is full with Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. Are these all sanctioned by Lenovo because Lenovo has them in their Linux program ? And because the LOQ, IdeaPad and Legion series are not,(Windows only) Lenovo won't sanction them to be in the LVFS ? |
Yes - that's it. |
Currently, there is no firmware available for the Lenovo LOQ series laptops (a budget variant of the Legion series, which are also not available.
Would be cool if they can be made available via fwupdmgr
Currently, new BIOS firmware is available from June 2024 which now cannot be installed via fwupdmgr.
