Framework Laptop 13 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.05 Release and Driver Bundle

If I upgraded to W11 24H2 from W11 23H2 do I need to install this? My drivers are current but my install is not “new.”

My understanding is that Windows does not update the Firmware. Given they wrecked everyone’s duel boot UEFI the other month when they tried, this is a good thing.

It’s safe to install the firmware upgrade. It’ll either upgrade or do nothing, either of which is OK :slight_smile:

Hello People!

Interested in knowing if anybody has gotten issues after updating their BIOS on their AMD FW13s?

Looking to pick up one and wanted to hear from you guys if you got help from support.

Thanks in advance!

Moved to BIOS thread where issues would be reported.

This link does not work on Chrome for some reason. I was able to download the .exe through Firefox, however I am unable to run it on my device (Framework 13 w/ the Ryzen 5 7640U). Windows throws an error saying “This app can’t run on your PC”.

You can run a live cd of linux, fedora or ubuntu for example and upgrade firmware from it.

I installed the Win11 partition after my normal Manjaro build though. I didn’t have any of these issues on my Manjaro install, so maybe that was the issue.

I wiped the drive and reinstalled Win11 alone and I’m still running into the same issues. Win11 complains that the driver bundle is from an “unknown publisher” and when I tell it to run anyway it says that “this app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.”

Before someone asks, I am using what Framework has marked for Win11 via the official link.

As far as I can see the file name should be: Framework_Laptop_13_and_16_AMD_Ryzen_7040_driver_bundle_W11_2024_10_02.exe
Size should be: 881,108,072 bytes

To check the SHA256 I use Multihasher: MultiHasher · abelhadigital.com

The file I’m able to download is barely a fraction of the size you have reported here.
71,717,172 bytes

Windows sha256:
certUtil -hashfile C:\file.img SHA256

Linux sha256:
sha256sum file.img

Ah. Much easier. Thanks.

It’s strange, somebody else is experiencing the same download truncation, at the same byte count…

I think it’s most likely a problem with part of Cloudflare’s caches. The right person at Framework should be able to flush the Cloudflare cache to fix it, and also perhaps set Cloudflare not to cache for so long, so that any future problems will clear themselves in a reasonable time.

A workaround might be to use a VPN to download via somewhere quite far away from your real location, so that it comes from a different part of Cloudflare’s local caching.

@TheTRUEAsian Do you know which member of your team will be able to fix this on Cloudflare? Please could you ask them to do it?

Not a Framework employee however, the Framework team is aware of this issue.

There must be somebody who is paid to look after your website, and since they set it up to use Cloudflare they ought to be able to log in to the Cloudflare dashboard and flush the cache and/or change your cache rules.

The person you are talking to is NOT A FRAMEWORK EMPLOYEE.

The person you are talking to has already told you that FRAMEWORK EMPLOYEES ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE.
