tl;dr: we've added some new UI to gnome-firmware to make recording devices easier.

@mntmn I'm looking at similar, but way less cool than yours.

@mntmn absolutely -- ideally using a custom VID/PID and then using the bcdREV as the version number. If you can do that then I can do all the other bits.

Would you mind sending me the info in https://lvfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/apply.html please -- and and I can set you up with a {secret} LVFS account you can use for end-to-end testing.

@mntmn I tried flashing the sysctl.uf2 onto a random RP2 I had here (which worked) -- but the million dollar question -- how do I get firmware version of the RPi device when in "runtime" not UF2 mode? i.e. how does fwupd know that the update needs to be deployed?

@mntmn could we distribute this using LVFS and deploy it using fwupd? We have some existing support for uf2 updates, including the Raspberry Pi RP2. e.g. https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/tree/main/plugins/uf2

I've got huge respect for what you're doing btw.

Who doesn't want a LLM in their BIOS setup screen?

@mntmn could fwupd/lvfs help here? If so I'd be happy to help.
