I believe motherboard manufacturers want to rely on tools they get from the bios company. So likely this needs to be officially supported by the bios vendors first.
No?

There are three ways to update UEFI on my HP notebook and all three need windows. A zip file with a .bin and a .sig file would be sufficient.

It would be great to have motherboards with fwupd support. But if I see how bad the MSI firmware upgrade works, I dont't have a lot of hope and trust. It looses all setting after an upgrade, it won't boot without user interaction, RAM training can take a lot of time, setup entries in the menu are gone and my Ryzen 3900 was freezing one time quite a lot after after an upgrade :-(

on the otherhand I’m pretty sure many vendors like HP don’t give dAmn when it comes to firmware support. It really looks like we have run into a situation where vendors don’t want to support their hardware.

Is the idea that this also will be used for consumer motherboard bios updates? Or is it more for laptops or industrial devices?
