This morning they have now also corrected the README for the intel-gsc firmware updating plugin to remove their prior comment saying lack of support for non-Intel systems. As title says, only tested on rooted stock Samsung ROM - built from update3 sources.
#XPAD PLUGIN DRIVER#
A separate MEI driver is loaded for the Arc HECI interface.
#XPAD PLUGIN UPDATE#
We do not have a dependency on PCH functionality for our firmware update flow. That is, the HECI interface that we are referring to when we state that our discrete GPU uses HECI to perform a firmware update. Our discrete GPUs include a security controller that happens to also implement a HECI interface in a similar manner to the HECI interface that exists in the CSME on the PCH. The GSC exposes an HECI interface but it turns out to not depend upon the motherboard chipset's HECI / CSME. Update (8 Nov): I've heard back now from Intel with more information on their HECI usage by the Graphics System Controller. Arc has its own Graphics Security Control for firmware updates leveraging existing technology like HECI interface protocol to implement the firmware update flow.- Intel Graphics November 5, 2022 Firmware updates will work on both AMD or Intel platforms. Intel Arc doesn't require the host CSME to update firmware. Namely rather confusing as Intel's own GSC Fwupd plugin continues to carry the text that non-Intel machines are not supported. Update: Intel reached out to say firmware updating will work on AMD platforms, but awaiting to hear futher details / answers to questions given the statements on Fwupd with the Intel-authored firmware updating plugin, etc, to see if it's currently implemented or just planned for the future. We'll see if Intel ends up changing how the GSC firmware can be updated in the future or will remain tied to the Intel ME in what is then effectively an Intel CPU mandate for Arc Graphics GSC firmware updating. Handling the GSC firmware updates via the Intel Management Engine interface is done in the name of security.ĭetails on the Fwupd intel-gsc firmware updating with Fwupd can be found via Fwupd on GitHub. It's nice that the Intel Graphics System Controller will be updatable under Linux by way of an Fwupd plugin, but unfortunate that it relies upon Intel Management Engine functionality for facilitating the update. The Arc card firmware is updated using HECI-over-MEI which means it's only available on Intel machines only. Lead LVFS/Fwupd developer Richard Hughes pointed out this support caveat following the recent Arc Graphics + POWER article.Īnd it's not going to be updatable without the CSME functionality. Thus older Intel systems without HECI-over-MEI or non-Intel systems like AMD CPUs or AArch64 / POWER / RISC-V systems are not able to apply the GSC firmware updates to Arc Graphics cards. ( Update: See end of article.)įor now at least, Intel is only supporting the updating of their Graphics System Controller (GSC) firmware by way of the Intel Management Engine. It turns out updating the GSC firmware for Arc Graphics hardware currently requires the Intel Management Engine (ME) functionality, which basically limits the graphics card firmware updating in turn to systems with Intel CPUs.
