James is right here. Just include /boot/bootfw.zip in your image<br>
(os-builder will do the right thing if you provide the "unsigned"<br>
bootfw rpm and follow the signing procedures).<br></blockquote><div><br>For some bad experiences that we had in the past, the decision is not allow users to update the firmware. Just our technical team (and maybe volunteers) will do it. I know that we could include the firmware updating process in our software image release. I am pretty sure that all the bad experiences that support this decision are related to an old firmware version. I suppose that a good way to ensure that users could update the firmware without problems is make a pilot. But we don't have enough time now, maybe for the next firmware release.<br>

Right after install, each boot will check if there is battery+external<br>
power, and if those 2 conditions are met, will upgrade OFW.<br>

About your keyboard issues -- things have changed a bit from 8.2.x to<br>
10.1.x in how we manage the keyboard. Can you tell us what you're<br>
trying to do (perhaps in a separate email thread), and we'll find a<br>
good way to do it.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
