Run the .exe. 2. Click yes to reboot. 3. Wait for the firmware progress bar to complete, and then the system will reboot. 4. If you are updating a system in standalone mode, please pay careful attention to the standalone update process below. Please note that you must update with a charger attached.  Please note that the Windows Update does not support updating retimer firmware. There is not a functional impact to port functionality if you do not choose to update your retimer firmware.  ### Windows Retimer Updates Updating the retimer will update to a signed retimer firmware that is Thunderbolt certified. There is no change to port functionality if you do not choose to update your retimer firmware. To perform the retimer update, you will need to follow the instructions twice using the following executable files, as there are two sets of retimers on the system, and each pair needs to be updated separately.

Update the BIOS first. 2. Boot into Windows after BIOS update. 3. Run the .exe and wait for the firmware update tool to stage the update. ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXemR7v0e1pk0RtbLVu26fQSDZQdoy0ewxfuksuo_EUEXhRP7xomYBBTyi5MgG-7rdwCCCGQXVC-JMxtS181DbmmGBbm397CyXJl8a0xG6RuMAS1_sxXoxH3Td6Zw4OuT9d-RyS8ZQ?key=-dUbPWGryOAX-4cOa6-Wew) 4. After initialization, the system will restart and update the retimer firmware. 5. Repeat step 3 after rebooting to update the second set of retimers. **Please note that you must update with a charger attached.**  ## Linux/LVFS Updating via LVFS is available in the stable channel, and should be automatically installed once the below requirements are met. You can enable updates by running: fwupdmgr refresh --force **then** fwupdmgr get-updates **then** fwupdmgr update **Please note that you must update with a charger attached.**  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 [https://downloads.frame.work/bios/Framework\_Laptop\_13\_13th\_Gen\_Intel\_Core\_BIOS\_3.17\_EFI.zip](https://downloads.frame.work/bios/Framework_Laptop_13_13th_Gen_Intel_Core_BIOS_3.17_EFI.zip)  410CC3FF339516B2771277562EBE0EE3980014BC00586A3DA287962D361ECD6E **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. **Please note that the power and display output must be connected to the same side during standalone updates. Failure to do this may result in no display output during the update process.** We recommend the following update flow for standalone updates:  #### Part 1 Ensure that standalone operation is enabled in the bios advanced setup menu.  Display connected to upper left port.  Power connected to the lower left port.  Run the updater from EFI/Windows updater. After rebooting into the updater the update will commence:  The updater will update the BIOS and EC.  ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXd5Z-vPnD96YosDm-6-obqgLEF9imZLBYSwISMgZD499eJF1KP4L_hj_vX60WD4WeMwCYNY-FeaTPHlt29PnPApZJvxFkxTu44nCgyNOo2NCeAbNt59Y3ewsVgOH1PKVSKIxkN-0A?key=-dUbPWGryOAX-4cOa6-Wew) ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeiz93MHJPpTQtgNMmbBq_tsBLv3dsbrJO43GzapLPqxUT_Ok1ldtQc23ang1NfWUBJ4aXoek2NKqyfccxb5c7p5f2ZDlsXqrVwgWzwLwUDJPIVFStkzGJA4IFkpmMeiBxxmWqj?key=-dUbPWGryOAX-4cOa6-Wew) The Updater will update the PD controller that is not connected to the power source.  ![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXedtBGGATb8g-pdvN73IXIDMAd1NgLsBaLROk1XHExxObL1mnDmkq0bdzzIddiab7qpgdm_atOMlvd2q1e-reM4EOUBjZoFC_RYMYfRS1UoLh5HRnVENmWPztj25rIK0xWOowgKeQ?key=-dUbPWGryOAX-4cOa6-Wew) You will see one PD controller will fail the update with the X, and “Update Complete!!!” is displayed, but the bios will restart.  #### Part 2 At this screen, the bios update will stop.

This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. 6.8 CVE-2025-32008 Out-of-bounds write in the firmware for the Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Network adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (low) impacts. 4.1 CVE-2025-31648 Improper handling of values in the microcode flow for some Intel(R) Processor Family may allow an escalation of privilege. Startup code and smm adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege.

Please note that we do not currently have a SLA for responding to issues on GitHub, but we will be reviewing them through the BIOS release process, and will review them for future updates as well.  If you have an issue regarding hardware, broken devices, returns, etc, this is not the place, please contact support.  ## Known Issues 1. When updating using the EFI update method, the update will fail if the internal SSD is formatted as MBR.  2. No display output during the retimer update. ## ## **Driver Bundle** This driver bundle includes several security fixes and enhancements.
