Providing new UEFI firmware
The vendor-specific UEFI firmware data must be made available on your web server. The manufacturers provide the UEFI firmware of their devices on the LVFS platform in the form of .cab achives. The way the device types are listed is up to the individual vendors and is unfortunately not consistent.
For models that come with different chipsets, make sure to use the appropriate .cab archive for the UEFI update. Example: Dell Latitude 5530
The chipset installed in your model is displayed in the Scout Console in the device properties.
Note:
If you cannot find a specific UEFI device via LVFS, please contact the vendor.
It is also possible that UEFI capsule update is not yet supported for this type of device.
-
For all relevant device types, download the latest UEFI firmware archives from the LVFS platform.
To shorten the names of the .cab archives or make them more meaningful, you may modify the file names. Leave the file extension .cab.
Example original name: 860fceb3052faa6955ff4f3dfe337ca1736e08515f5ac402a59c2af5b9bbf8d1-firmware.cab
Example short name: Dell_Latitude_3330_1130.cab
-
Store the archives on your web server inside the eLux container.
Alternatively, you may create a dedicated container for UEFI firmware. The corresponding path must then be specified in the UEFI file (*.udf).
-
Check the MIME type settings of your web server and add any missing entries:
| |
|
|
| .cab |
application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed |
default setting of IIS |
| .udf |
text/plain |
for UEFI updates via Scout UEFI Update command |
-
Follow the further steps in Configuring UEFI updates.
The new UEFI firmware is provided on the web server.
