It may render your hardware unbootable. Please update your firmware using the official BIOS update methods (Windows .exe, LVFS/FWUPD, EFI updater)! This command has not been thoroughly tested on all Framework Computer systems ``` # Simulate flashing RW (to see which blocks are updated) > framework_tool --flash-rw-ec ec.bin --dry-run # Actually flash RW > framework_tool --flash-rw-ec ec.bin # Boot into EC RW firmware (will crash your OS and reboot immediately) # EC will boot back into RO if the system turned off for 30s > framework_tool --reboot-ec jump-rw ``` ## Flashing Expansion Bay EEPROM (Framework 16) This will render your dGPU unsuable if you flash the wrong file! It's intended for advanced users who build their own expansion bay module. The I2C address of the EEPROM is hardcoded to 0x50. ``` # Dump current descriptor (e.g. for backup) > framework_tool --dump-gpu-descriptor-file foo.bin Dumping to foo.bin Wrote 153 bytes to foo.bin # Update just the serial number > framework_tool --flash_gpu_descriptor GPU FRAKMQCP41500ASSY1 > framework_tool --flash_gpu_descriptor 13 FRAKMQCP41500ASSY1 > framework_tool --flash_gpu_descriptor 0x0D FRAKMQCP41500ASSY1 # Update everything from a file > framework_tool --flash-gpu-descriptor-file pcie_4x2.bin ``` ## Analyzing binaries ### EC Note that only since Framework 13 Intel Core Ultra (and later) the version number embedded in the ED binary is meaningful. As you can see below, in this example on Intel Core 12th/13th Gen (hx30) it's always 0.0.1. The commit hash though is accurate and reflects the git commit it was built from. ``` > framework-tool --ec--bin ec.bin File Size: 524288 B Size: 512 KB EC Version: hx30_v0.0.1-7a61a89 RollbackVer: 0 Platform: hx30 Version: 0.0.1 Commit: 7a61a89 Size: 2868 B Size: 2 KB ``` ### PD ``` > framework_tool --pd-bin pd-0.1.14.bin File Size: 65536 B Size: 64 KB FW 1 Silicon ID: 0x3000 Version: 0.1.14 Row size: 128 B Start Row: 22 Rows: 95 Size: 12160 B Size: 11 KB FW 2 Silicon ID: 0x3000 Version: 0.1.14 Row size: 128 B Start Row: 118 Rows: 381 Size: 48768 B Size: 47 KB ``` ### UEFI Capsule ``` > framework_tool --capsule retimer23.cap File Size: 2232676 B Size: 2180 KB Capsule Header Capsule GUID: (ba2e4e6e, 3b0c, 4f25, [8a,59,4c,55,3f,c8,6e,a2]) Header size: 28 B Flags: 0x50000 Persist across reset (0x10000) Initiate reset (0x40000) Capsule Size: 2232676 B Capsule Size: 2180 KB Type: Framework Retimer23 (Right) ```
