Upcoming EuroBSDCon OpenBSD talk Why rewrite fwupdate(8)? By Andrew Hewus Fresh
OpenBSD provides the fwupdate(8) utility to handle installing firmware for hardware from manufacturers whose licensing isn't compatible with our base system. We will take a trip into the history of fwupdate(8), its structure and why it exists. A recent rewrite provides an illustration of the value OpenBSD places on simplicity and user experience.
Tickets are still available and this talk will be streamed and recorded for later release.
