Content:

Enum values:

• AFFECTS_FDE - The device is warning that a volume with full-disk-encryption was found on this machine, typically a Windows NTFS partition with BitLocker.
• ANOTHER_WRITE_REQUIRED - The device requires the update to be retried, possibly with a different plugin.
• BACKUP_BEFORE_INSTALL - The device firmware should be saved before installing firmware.
• CAN_EMULATION_TAG - The device can be recorded by the backend, allowing emulation.
• CAN_VERIFY - The device checksums can be compared against metadata.
• CAN_VERIFY_IMAGE - The device application firmware image can be dumped from device for verification.
• DUAL_IMAGE - The device firmware update architecture uses a redundancy mechanism such as A/B partitions for updates.
• EMULATED - The device is emulated and should not be recorded by the backend.
• EMULATION_TAG - The device should be recorded by the backend, allowing emulation.
• END_OF_LIFE - The device is no longer supported by the original hardware vendor as it is considered end-of-life.
• HAS_MULTIPLE_BRANCHES - The device supports switching to a different stream of firmware.
• HISTORICAL - The device is used for historical data only.
• INSTALL_ALL_RELEASES - Install each intermediate releases for the device rather than jumping directly to the newest.
• INSTALL_SKIP_VERSION_CHECK - The device doesn't require verification of the newly installed version.
• INTERNAL - Device is internal to the platform and cannot be removed easily.
• IS_BOOTLOADER - The device is currently in a read-only bootloader mode and not running application code.
• LOCKED - The device can not be updated without manual user interaction.
• NEEDS_ACTIVATION - The device update needs to be separately activated.
• NEEDS_BOOTLOADER - The device requires entering a bootloader mode to be updated.
• NEEDS_REBOOT - The device requires a system reboot to apply firmware or to reload hardware.
• NEEDS_SHUTDOWN - The device requires the system to be shutdown to finish application of new firmware.
• NONE - No flags set
• NOTIFIED - The user has been notified about a change in the device state.
• ONLY_EXPLICIT_UPDATES - The device should stay on one firmware version unless the new version is explicitly specified.
• ONLY_VERSION_UPGRADE - The device firmware can only be updated to a newer version and never downgraded or reinstalled.
• REPORTED - The success or failure of a previous update has been reported to a metadata server.
• REQUIRE_AC - Device requires an external power source to be connected or the battery level at a minimum threshold to update.
• SELF_RECOVERY - In flashing mode, the device will only accept intended payloads and will revert back to a valid firmware image if an invalid or incomplete payload was sent.
• SIGNED_PAYLOAD - The firmware payload is verified on-device using strong cryptography such as RSA, AES or ECC.
• SUPPORTED - The device is found in metadata loaded into the daemon.
• UNKNOWN - This flag is not defined, this typically will happen from mismatched fwupd library and clients.
• UNREACHABLE - The device is currently unreachable, perhaps because it is in a lower power state or is out of wireless range.
• UNSIGNED_PAYLOAD - The firmware payload is unsigned and it is possible to modify and flash custom firmware.
• UPDATABLE - Device has the ability to be updated in this or any other mode.
• UPDATABLE_HIDDEN - The device is updatable but is currently inhibited from updates in the client.
• USABLE_DURING_UPDATE - The device remains usable while the update flashes or schedules the update.
• VERSION_CHECK_REQUIRED - All firmware updates for this device require a firmware version check.
• WAIT_FOR_REPLUG - The device is in the middle of an update and the hardware is waiting to be probed or replugged.
• WILDCARD_INSTALL - All devices with matching GUIDs will be updated at the same time.
• WILL_DISAPPEAR - The device will disappear after the update is complete and success or failure can't be verified.
