Jul 23, 2024 **Please note! This update will remain BETA due to the following issue:** If a device is plugged into an expansion card during the update, all USB3/DP functionality will be lost until the device is removed and reinstalled. If you still choose to install this update, please shutdown, remove all power sources, wait 2 minutes and then power back on to fully reset the system and clear this issue. Or unplug and replug any devices in ports 1, 2, 4, after applying the update as seen in [Expansion Card Slot functionality on Framework Laptop 16](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/expansion-card-slot-functionality-on-framework-laptop-16-rkUjGm7cn) You can check your current BIOS version [following the steps here](https://knowledgebase.frame.work/en_us/how-to-check-the-bios-version-on-windows-linux-bios-ryupu8HT3) to determine if you are on the latest release. ## Downloads ### Windows | Download Link | SHA256 | | --- | --- | | [Framework\_Laptop\_16\_Amd\_Ryzen7040\_BIOS\_3.04.exe](https://downloads.frame.work/bios/Framework_Laptop_16_Amd_Ryzen7040_BIOS_3.04.exe) | bc011357e627fcecac40d9ace8c6351c1f7c345f9be83cc41f10a5e8315e1d9d | Instructions for Windows Installer: 1. Run the .exe. 2. Click yes to reboot. 3. Wait for the firmware progress bar to complete, and then the system will reboot. ### Linux/LVFS Updating via LVFS is available in the testing channel during the beta period. You can enable updates from testing by running fwupdmgr enable-remote lvfs-testing LVFS may not update if the battery is 100% charged. LVFS uses the battery status to determine if it is safe to apply updates. However if our battery is at 100% and the charger is off, we set the battery charging status to false. In this case you can discharge your battery a few percent, then plug in AC again and run fwupdmgr update. ### Linux/Other/UEFI Shell update | Download Link | SHA256 | | --- | --- | | [Framework\_Laptop\_16\_Amd\_Ryzen7040\_BIOS\_3.04\_EFI.zip](https://downloads.frame.work/bios/Framework_Laptop_16_Amd_Ryzen7040_BIOS_3.04_EFI.zip) | 141d4d100183040dce00d293620ecca2dae811499b42ed6a29ebd3f0391d6420 | Note that if you use the EFI shell update with Windows, you should suspend Bitlocker if enabled before updating using the EFI updater. Instructions for EFI shell update: 1. 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. 2. Boot your system while pressing F12 and boot from the thumb drive. 3. Let startup.nsh run automatically. 4. Follow the instructions to install the update. ## Updating a Mainboard outside of a laptop 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. ## Security Fixes | Module Name | Vulnerability | Score | | --- | --- | --- | | IP6Dxe | CVE-2023-45232 | 7.5 | | IP6Dxe | CVE-2023-45233 | 7.5 | | UefiPxeBcDxe | CVE-2023-45234 | 8.8 | | Dhcp6Dxe | CVE-2023-45230 | 8.8 | ## Enhancements ## Fixes 1. Fix issue with dual SSD expansion bay module, where the SSD is not recognized after resume. 2. Set ACPI thermal zone \_CRT to 170C and \_HOT to 160C. This should fix an issue where thermal zones where not loaded in linux due to being out of range: [Commit - Sourcegraph](https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/torvalds/linux/-/commit/7a0e39748861272e6f4b088d5a7e7ffa53c4d5eb?visible=4) ## Component Versions This BIOS update is a bundle of updates to multiple embedded components in the system. Not all of them use the same version number. | Component | Version | Changed | | --- | --- | --- | | BIOS | 3.04 | Updated | | EC | ec\_304\_b4c1fb | Same | | PD | 0.0.1E | Same | ## Known Issues 1. There are some device compatibility issues found in 3.03 which are still being resolved. This update is primarily focused on security updates. 2. Type-c connection stability with some apple phones. 3. Charger support for certain portable EPR power banks. 4. System stuck at 500Mhz when attached to an EPR charger through type-c to displayport adapters with type-c input. 5. ALS sensor reports may occasionally be incomplete. (as seen in dmesg). 6. If a device is plugged into an expansion card slot during the update, all USB3/DP functionality will be lost until the device is removed and reinstalled, or the system is fully shut down and powered on again. ---

You should pull the metadata as fwupdmgr uses the metadata from the remote to correctly parse the firmware version. Since it is showing 771, this is 0x3.03 in hex. Which means that the metadata was never loaded so fwupdmgr can parse the version correctly. ---

It is good that some usb problems i am seeing are noted in the Known issues section 2) Type-c connection stability with some apple phones. This also affects Android A34 phones. Mine only works in slot 1 and 4. It’s too unstable in other slots. 1. Charger support for certain portable EPR power banks. My power bank does not work in any port in the FW16. So, I look forward to those fixes. ---

For clarification, the Ethernet port was seemingly disabled. It was registering something was there in that port (I don’t remember what screen I was in where it was telling me this, I can check tomorrow), like a disabled driver and I think it had the name of the driver it was referring to, but the driver wasn’t appearing in Control Panel or Device Manager (even with showing hidden enabled). Even when I reverted back to 3.03, the Ethernet adapter still wasn’t showing up in neither my Device Manager nor Control Panel. I was able to get it working again in 3.03 by clean reinstalling the Driver bundle and doing a couple restarts and winsh resets. Not sure what exactly fixed it, or if I was supposed to reinstall the Drivers after the BIOS update or not. Maybe that would’ve solved my problem. I can try and recreate the problem again to gather more information and to try to solve it without reverting to 3.04 tomorrow if you’d like. ---

I did some testing this AM and the issue was on the USB C dock… it works just fine in this bios. ~~This isnt quite what is in the known issues thread.~~ But after installing the update, my usb-c dock does not work in port #4. It works in port #1 though. My charger works in 1 or 4…and my usb c headset works in port #4 as well. ---

@knipp30 It is strange regarding the usb problems because the new bios did not mention making any changes to the usb parts. I have not bothered updating to BIOS 3 0.4 because it did not mention any usb fixes. After upgrading BIOS it is a good idea to reset the bios to “optimized defaults”. ---

So, after a few days running 3.04, I can confirm that it caused instability with my usb-c dock. No matter what port, it would not connect. Rolled back to 3.03 and it worked as expected. ---
