KXG* NVME SSD firmware has gone missing from fwupdmgr

Open colemickens opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Example: Dell XPS 13 9370:

This applies to Toshiba SSDs used in some XPS devices: KXG50ZNV256G and KXG50ZNV512G and KXG50ZNV1T02 (search keywords)

For my NVME drive, for example, fwupd reports:

├─KXG50ZNV1T02 NVMe TOSHIBA 1024GB:
│     Device ID:          f954c7acdf5fab61aeaca1cd71d29ea5ade6992f
│     Summary:            NVM Express solid state drive
│     Current version:    AADA4106
...
  • laptop support page: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/xps-13-9370-laptop/drivers

    • version listed as 2200.1070, A00, super un-helpful
    • filename is: Micron-2200S-PCIe-NVMe-Solid-State-Drive-Firmware_3JG3G_WIN64_2200.1070_A00.EXE``
  • generic dell/toshiba firmware page: https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=7yxtm

    • lists AADA4107, A00
    • filename is Micron-2200S-PCIe-NVMe-Solid-State-Drive-Firmware_3JG3G_WIN64_2200.1070_A00.EXE

Presumably AADA4107 is newer than AADA4106.

So even for the actual laptop device, Dell knows there is a newer firmware, but it doesn't seem to be present in fwupd.

Looks similar to #102, maybe there's a process improvement for Dell/NVME lurking...

Actually, this is much worse this firmware isn't being offered anymore:

❯ sudo fwupdmgr get-updates
Devices with no available firmware updates:
 • USB2.0 Hub
 • USB3.0 Hub
 • KXG50ZNV1T02 NVMe TOSHIBA 1024GB
 • UEFI dbx
 • USB 2.0 BILLBOARD
Devices with the latest available firmware version:
 • System Firmware
No updates available for remaining devices

Further, I'm also having issues getting the TB controller updated: https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/discussions/4349#discussioncomment-2269050
