This talk presents the current state and future roadmap of #fwupd and #LVFS projects, focusing on technical challenges and opportunities for smaller open-source firmware distributions like Dasharo.
Key points include:
* Recent advancements in firmware update infrastructure
* Upcoming upstream #UEFI Capsule Update support for coreboot and #EDKII
* Call to action in areas where community input, feedback, and funding can influence project direction

Porting #EDKII to #ARM is rarely straightforward. Unlike x86, ARM platforms often rely on fragmented boot chains, vendor-specific initialization code, and minimal documentation. This talk explores the technical challenges of adapting EDK II to a new ARM target, showing how to reuse existing SoC support while handling the unique bring-up requirements of non-standard #hardware.

Our application has been sent to @NLnetFDN for the project titled "#UEFI Capsule Update for #coreboot with #EDKII payload" aiming to improve the #firmware update process. Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments section: https://docs.dasharo.com/projects/capsule-updates/
