It's exciting that with Fwupd 1.9.6+ it's now possible to update AMD discrete graphics card firmware under Linux rather than having to resort to Windows or other environments. This new Fwupd plug-in works with Navi 3x on recent versions of the Linux kernel where the AMDGPU driver has the necessary interfaces to make the firmware updating happen. Specifically this firmware updating is focused on flashing the graphics card's Integrated Firmware Image (IFWI).
Quoted from the article.
So you could not update the firmware on Navi 3x before this update arrived to Fwupd? Err you could update the card outside of Linux by booting up windows?
You could do it in Windows before. With this update, now you can do it in Linux.
Okay got it. Thank you! I just started using desktop linux, I'm on Nobara so I have some expectation that things will be handled for me and I'm not always sure about when I need to tweak things. The extent of my troubleshooting so far is using ProtonDB.
