fwupd is a simple daemon allowing you to update some devices' firmware, including UEFI for several machines.
Supported devices are listed here and more are to come.
Installation
To use and install fwup daemon and user space client, add following part to your config:
services.fwupd.enable = true;
Usage
To display all devices detected by fwupd:
$ fwupdmgr get-devices
Note: Listed devices may not be updatable through fwupd (e.g. Intel integrated graphics). Alternative vendor solutions may be provided instead.
To download the latest metadata from the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS):

Note:
- Updates that can be applied live will be done immediately.
- Updates that run at bootup will be staged for the next reboot.
- The root user may be required to perform certain device updates.
