Description:

The firmware-tools project provides the following toolset:
  -- BIOS and Firmware inventory: provide a list of firmware versions present on a hardware system. Uses a plugin system so OEM can write plugins to get versions from their specific firmware

  -- BIOS and Firmware upgrade: given a BIOS or Firmware update, apply it to the system. Uses a plugin system so OEM can write plugins to update their specific hardware

  -- Package bootstrap: method to detect which packages might be necessary to complete a full inventory and update for hardware present on the system. Uses a plugin system so OEM can write plugins to get versions from their specific hardware.

The firmware-tools project provides tools to inventory hardware and a plugin
architecture so that different OEM vendors can provide different inventory
components. It is intended to tie to the package system to enable seamless
installation of updated firmware via your package manager, as well as provide
a framework for BIOS and firmware updates.
