Framework have published a workaround for a bug that affects the
MediaTek Bluetooth and Wi-Fi cards used in their laptops on kernel
version 6.11. Their workaround assumes a writable /etc/systemd
directory, so reimplement the workaround for NixOS.
For the Framework version of the workaround, see:

Framework Laptops
Updating Firmware
First put enable fwupd
services.fwupd.enable = true;
Note
For Intel CPU's, even stable BIOS versions are currently marked as test versions in LVFS (the default remote fwupd uses to get firmware).
If you want to use these versions, you'll have to explicitly enable the lvfs-testing remote:
services.fwupd.extraRemotes = [ "lvfs-testing" ]; # Might be necessary once to make the update succeed services.fwupd.uefiCapsuleSettings.DisableCapsuleUpdateOnDisk = true;
Caution
Before running the update, make sure you have a NixOS live ISO on a USB stick, because some firmware updates make your system unbootable.
Then run
$ fwupdmgr update
If you cannot boot into your system after upgrading:
- Boot into the live USB
- Mount your system into
/mnt
- Run
sudo nixos-enter
- Run
NIXOS_INSTALL_BOOTLOADER=1 /run/current-system/bin/switch-to-configuration boot
Common Modules
For the Framework 13 laptops, there are common configuration modules available under the 13-inch/common/
directory,
including some modules specific to AMD- or Intel-based laptops. By preference, there will already be a specialised
module for your model's configuration. Otherwise, it can be added alongside the existing modules.
Support Tools
fw-ectool
There is a fw-ectool
package available in nixpkgs that provides some system configuration options via the EC.
This ectool only works with the Intel-based Framework laptops at present, as the Framework EC for AMD-based mainboards
is based on the Zephyr port of the ChromeOS EC, which involves a slightly changed communication interface.
