Hi all, I've started to look at adding firmware updates for NVMe hardware to the LVFS project (realistically for Fedora >= 31, so don't get too excited). Before I know which vendors to approach, and what I need to ask for, I need to get some statistics about the NVMe hardware the "typical linux user" is using. I've expanded a lot on the https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2018/08/17/nvme-firmware-i-need-your-data/ blog entry I wrote a few days ago if you'd like some more explanation and justification. So, what do I would like you to do. You don’t need to reboot, unmount any filesystems or anything like that. Just: Install nvme (e.g. dnf install nvme-cli) then do sudo nvme id-ctrl --raw-binary /dev/nvme0 > /tmp/id-ctrl If that worked, run the following command: curl -F type=nvme \ -F "machine_id="`cat /etc/machine-id` \ -F file=@/tmp/id-ctrl \ https://staging.fwupd.org/lvfs/upload_hwinfo The first command isn’t doing anything with the firmware; it’s just asking the NVMe drive to report what it knows about itself. It should be 100% safe, the kernel already did the same request at system startup. We are using your random machine ID to ensure we don’t record duplicate submissions -- if that makes you unhappy for some reason just choose some other random 32 byte hex string. In the binary file created by nvme there is the encoded model number and serial number of your drive; if this makes you uneasy please don’t send the file. Many thanks, Richard. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/XANJNG363Y7XPHZMDVMRPTNR3R52IWCS/
