**Please note: Updating to version 3.07 requires a minimum baseline of BIOS version 3.04. Please verify that your system is running v3.04 or newer before executing this flash. This firmware prevents downgrades to any version older than 3.04. If you have not yet updated to 3.04, please follow the instructions** [**HERE**](https://community.frame.work/t/framework-laptop-13-intel-core-ultra-series-1-bios-3-04-release/59579)**.**

  

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.

1.  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.
        
    4.  If you are updating a system in standalone mode, please pay careful attention to the standalone update process below.
        
2.  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.

Retimer update instructions.

1.  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.

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**

Firmware updates through LVFS are automatically applied. If you want to update your metadata manually, you can run: 

fwupdmgr refresh

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.

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.  Attach a charger to your device while updating.
    
3.  Boot your system while pressing F12 and boot from the thumb drive.
    
4.  Let startup.nsh run automatically.
    
5.  Follow the instructions to install the update.
    

If doing a standalone update, the display output will not work during the retimer update. Please note that retimer updates take 2 minutes to complete. So please wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to power off or reset the device.

## **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.

The Updater will update the PD controller that is not connected to the power source. 

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. You must disconnect the display and power source, and move them to the other side.   
The display should be connected to the top right.   
Power should be connected to the bottom right.

Press the power button, and the second PD update will complete. 

If the PD version is the latest, you will see all updates with the V, and "Update Complete!!!" is displayed.

## **Reporting Issues**

To report issues we have created a public issue tracker on github. [https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/SoftwareFirmwareIssueTracker/issues) 

  

We hope that this is a better way to track issues with community involvement moving forward as we have found it difficult to both gather relevant information about issues people are reporting on the forums, and track the issues through their lifecycle in a transparent way. 

  
If you do experience an issue with the update that is related to your system firmware, or updating, please post as complete a description as you can,  including relevant system information, and external peripherals. Please note that we do not currently have a SLA for responding to issues on github, but we will be reviewing them throughout the BIOS release process, and will review them for future updates as well.

  

If you have an issue unrelated to the BIOS update, please contact Framework Support. [https://frame.work/support](https://frame.work/support) 

## **Known Issues**

1.  If external ports are disabled in the BIOS, they can still function if the wifi/bluetooth device is disabled/enabled.
    
2.  No display output during the retimer update.
