Intel CSME	16.1.30.2361v4

Installation

Battery Extender

With the high energy density on the 61Wh battery, leaving it at 100% state of charge for an extended period of time can shorten the lifetime of the battery. This release adds a feature that automatically limits the maximum state of charge if the system is left plugged into power for more than 5 days. The timer resets after the system is disconnected from a power adapter for more than 30 minutes.

Battery Extender Duration	Battery State of Charge
0–5 days	99% → 100%
5–7 days	90% → 95%
7+ days	85% → 87%

This feature also reduces battery cycling by allowing the battery to discharge by several percent before charging again. You can also manually set a lower charge limit in BIOS to further preserve battery longevity. The feature can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS Advanced menu.

• Battery Extender — Enabled by default. Disable to always charge to 100%.
• Battery Extender Trigger — Number of days on AC before the charge limit is automatically reduced.
• Battery Extender Reset — Minutes on battery before the extender resets, causing the system to charge back to 100% on next AC connection.

You can check your current BIOS version following the steps here to determine if you are on the latest release.

Note

You must update with a charger attached.

Linux

Framework firmware is published to LVFS and updates via fwupd, which ships by default on most modern distributions.

fwupdmgr refresh --force
fwupdmgr get-updates
fwupdmgr update

Caution

LVFS may not update if the battery is at 100%.
If you experience issues, discharge to 95%, plug AC back in, then re-run fwupdmgr update.

Windows

1. Download the Framework Laptop 13 13th Gen Intel® Core™ BIOS 3.07 Windows Installer.
2. Run the .exe and click "Yes" when prompted to reboot.
3. Wait for the firmware progress bar to complete — the system will reboot automatically. Do not interrupt.

EFI Shell Update

Note

If you use the EFI shell update with Windows, you should suspend Bitlocker if enabled before updating using the EFI updater.
1. Download the EFI Shell Update v3.07.
2. Extract contents of zip folder to a FAT32 formatted USB drive. Cleanly unmount the drive before physically removing it, otherwise the BIOS update may not function correctly.
3. Attach a charger to your device while updating.
4. Boot your system while pressing F12 and boot from the thumb drive.
5. Let startup.nsh run automatically.
6. Follow the instructions to install the update.

Known Issues

• When updating using the EFI update method, the update will fail if the internal SSD is formatted as MBR
• If updating on Linux using LVFS, the update may not be available until you attach the system to a charger
• If 'Battery Extender' and 'Battery charge limit' are both enabled at the same time, the extender function may cause the battery to charge above the charge limit when triggered
