  1. Download the Framework Laptop 13 AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series BIOS 3.20 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.
  4. Download and install the Windows Driver Bundle v2.08 for your system if you are currently using a previous Driver Bundle release, or you are installing the Driver Bundle for the first time.
  1. Download the EFI Shell Update v3.20.
  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.

This release supports standalone updates without a battery attached. After rebooting, please follow the onscreen instructions to update your BIOS when in standalone mode, which will require moving the power source between both sides of the Mainboard to allow PD firmware to update correctly.

  1. Ensure that standalone operation is enabled in the BIOS advanced setup menu.
  2. Connect the external display to upper left port.
  3. Connect the power to the lower left port.
  4. Run the updater from EFI/Windows updater.
  5. After rebooting into the updater, the update will commence. The updater will update the BIOS and EC.
  6. A screenshot of the BIOS update screen.
  7. The Updater will update the PD controller that is not connected to the power source.
  8. A screenshot of the PD controller updater.
  9. You will see one PD controller will fail the update with the X, and "Update Complete" is displayed, but the BIOS will restart. At this screen, the BIOS update will stop. You must disconnect the display and power source, and move them to the other side. * Connect the display to the top right port. * Connect power to the bottom right port.
  10. A screenshot of the PD controller updater with the message for next steps.
  11. Press the power button, and the second PD update will complete.
  12. A screenshot of the PD controller updater finishign the update.
  13. After this, the system will reboot, and your BIOS update is complete.
  • BIOS display output may not show up in standalone mode when booting the first time. To work around this, boot into the OS and restart pressing F2 to enter the setup menu.
  • When updating in standalone mode, there may be no display output after updating one side's PD firmware. Connect power and display on the same side when performing a BIOS update in standalone mode.
  • Connecting with iPhones over type-c may be unstable.
