Hi all, I want to make it easy for ODMs and OEMs to choose components that already have fwupd plugin support, and for that I'm proposing a specification called "fwupd friendly firmware". There is more information available on https://fwupd.org/lvfs/vendors/prodcerts -- but the basic idea is that we list components with existing fwupd support so that the ODMs know what to choose to avoid having to write a new fwupd plugin. I'm being asked to recommend fwupd-compatible silicon all the time and this hopefully scales better than me replying to email. I'd like to include more hardware that I know we already have support for, and I'm sure it will be good for all involved to have as many devices listed as possible. There is more information and instructions available in the new documentation pages https://lvfs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prodcert.html Any questions or concerns, please let me know off-list. Richard.
