Installation

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 16 AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series BIOS 3.03 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 v for your system if you are currently using a previous Driver Bundle release, or you are installing the Driver Bundle for the first time.

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 v3.03.
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

• iGPU memory will be reset to AUTO (512MB) after update for one reboot. Toggling the setting to AUTO and then back to GAMING has been reported to fix this.
• Internal testing reported one instance of the touchpad responding slowly after wake. A shutdown and restart resolved the issue.
• Two reports of an unexpected reboot while gaming with the GPU.
• Four PixieFail vulnerabilities in the UEFI IPv6 network stack were identified during release testing and will be resolved in the next release: CVE-2023-45232 and CVE-2023-45233 (Ip6Dxe, CVSS 7.5), CVE-2023-45230 (Dhcp6Dxe, CVSS 8.3), and CVE-2023-45234 (UefiPxeBcDxe, CVSS 8.3).
• The network stack is not enabled by default, so default configurations are not exploitable. If you have enabled it, disable it in BIOS setup under Boot Options to mitigate.

Reporting Issues

Please use the public issue tracker on GitHub to report issues.

If you experience an issue with the update that is related to your system firmware, please post as complete a description as you can, including relevant system information and external peripherals. Please note that we do not currently have a SLA for responding to issues on github, but we will be reviewing them through the bios release process, and will review them for future updates as well.

Please contact support if you have an issue regarding hardware, broken devices, returns, etc.
