Fwupd 1.9.22 Released With Framework SD Expansion Card & Raspberry Pi 5 Support

([LVFS] 5 Hours Ago Fwupd 1.9.22)


Richard Hughes of Red Hat just released Fwupd 1.9.22 as the newest version of this open-source solution for allowing system and peripheral firmware updates to be carried out quickly and easily from Linux systems.

With Fwupd 1.9.22 there is new hardware support for facilitating firmware updates as it concerns the Framework Laptop's SD Expansion Card and then separately is also unofficial Raspberry Pi 5 support.

The SD Expansion Card support for the modular Framework laptops is great to see and just the latest addition to the already existing Framework Laptop support with Fwupd.

The unofficial Raspberry Pi 5 support is adding it to the Flashrom plug-in and has been tested by Richard Hughes with the Raspberry Pi 5 Model B.

Fwupd 1.9.22 also has a variety of bug fixes and other code improvements as noted on [1]GitHub .

Human cardiac catheterization was introduced by Werner Forssman in 1929.
Ignoring his department chief, and tying his assistant to an operating
table to prevent her interference, he placed a ureteral catheter into
a vein in his arm, advanced it to the right atrium [of his heart], and
walked upstairs to the x-ray department where he took the confirmatory
x-ray film. In 1956, Dr. Forssman was awarded the Nobel Prize.
