Introduction of fwupd support + Capsule Updates - NovaCustom

For easy installation of firmware updates. Firmware updates were unnecessarily complex for a long time. They required manual command line steps, were error-prone, and carried a real risk of “bricking.” In addition, updates often depended on specific BIOS settings. If something was wrong, an update could fail. This not only caused frustration for users, but ... Read more

Re: #SecureBoot on @novacustom laptops:

1ˢᵗ,is all this right?:
* Heads—for users to “outsource” integrity & safety from “butler attack” to #NovaCustom/Dasharo
* TrustRoot is for enterprise customers who own the hardware & don't want employees tampering w/ its firmware

2ⁿᵈ, I want:
* Install my own UEFI keys.
* When #Dasharo recommends upgrade, I want to sign it too & upgrade only works w/ *BOTH* my & Dasharo's signatures.

Does “Yes—enable UEFI secure boot” put me on the path to do that?

With the rise of firmware attacks, it has become essential to focus on transparency and low-level protection for smaller organisations and individuals as well. This is why NovaCustom uses Dasharo coreboot: an open-source firmware solution with focus on security. An important ... Read more

We had a great experience at #DebConf25!

We brought our two laptop models and our brand new NUC Box with Dasharo coreboot firmware.

It was great to see how much recognition and interest there was. Between the tech talks and hallway chats, we really enjoyed the spirit of the Debian community.

🙏 Thanks to everyone who visited our stand!
📅 Any recommendations for other FOSS conferences we should join?

Today's #Dasharo firmware release comes with several improvements, including support for UEFI capsules, which should simplify future firmware updates:

The goal is bringing the #Coreboot user experience in line with proprietary vendor firmware, including support for overclocking and advanced memory tuning.
