[darp8] Anyone try this FW update 42bf7a6 (2023-09-08)?
This reminds me a lot of FW update a8dd6c2, since rolled back, which came out about 4 months ago and caused problems with darp8 (e.g. https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/469, https://www.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/1692nd2/darter_pro_fails_to_resume_after_fw_a8dd6c2/, https://www.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/168oehz/new_coreboot_update/)

Is there a way to find the "sweet spot" for fans when running the custom firmware?
I suspect that my current settings are still "overkill", so I'm wondering if there's a nice way (in the absence of https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/pull/365 being merged!) to find out what the minimum speed is I can get away with without my laptop spontaneously combusting? :D

System76 support says my HDMI issue is normal and won't fix my warrantied laptop. Is this real?!!
There is an issue about this: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/407 They closed it (because there was an update), but yeah it's definitely not fixed. You can subscribe to this issue to see what's going on, but do not get your hopes high - they will rarely, if ever, update the issue.

Excessive fan noise when on any power mode except "Battery Life"
There isn't a way without flashing the firmware at least once, but there is this PR instead which exposes userspace fan controls, which might work with some of the fan control software in Linux.

BIOS has fake (default) serial number
Issue opened: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/issues/432
- System76 laptops with Intel 10th-13th gen has now a Coreboot bios with management engine cleaner. Is there any other brand offering the same?
-
Any update on framework 16?
What Framework can't offer is Coreboot with Management Engine Cleaner and other great specs. System76 just announced a new fully open source bios for their intel 10th - 13 th gen models: https://github.com/system76/firmware-open/blob/77abfadf24c9a0c45ae042cd71d3ce7be26c846e/FEATURES.md

Flashing firmware on oryp10
Hi! I check the firmware-open repository from time to time and noticed that since the initial release a few potentially interesting things have been committed (e.g. Disable ME by default on everything but TGL-U or Support for NVIDIA Dynamic Boost ). Should I wait for the "official" update to show up in firmware-manager? These changes seem to have been released quite some time ago, but there is no trace of them in the GUI. I am inclined to build and flash it myself. I've flashed my ec in the past, but I don't want to set the versions of ec and firmware-open too far apart. What's the policy here? There is this warning here about "normal" users who should not do this themselves. Perhaps I am not normal :-/

- New System Firmware is available on System76's GitHub, but I still don't have a System Firmware update button inside Pop_OS!

Where are the coreboot configs for the lemp11?
You mean this?: https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/930f16b230a1574abddc1cf313c32f1a90c994e9/src/board/system76/lemp11/board.mk

Fix for Loud Fans
Inexplicably, the built-in curves have a 5 second delay for gazelle. This means, if your chip goes turbo, it will take 5 seconds before the fan will react. By that time, the temperature will have already spiked to 80-90 C. https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/2a8befc195cd821232d2934593d29337e4eddb3e/src/board/system76/gaze17-3060/board.mk
- Consistently high fan speed since moving to Void
- Your take on this? I know why they do it, but should i be forced to install an OS i don't like just to get support for my hardware? Are there any hardware component manufacturers that support linux?

Lemur pro now?
You can change the keyboard layout but not sure if you can replace the physical keyboard easily. https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/master/doc/keyboard-layout-customization.md

Best practice for loud fans on a new Gazelle?
If you're wanting to try that out, it's very easy by editing the numbers within the FAN_POINT lines of this file (for your model): https://github.com/system76/ec/blob/master/src/board/system76/gaze17-3060/board.mk

Can't build firmware
I have the ec repo cloned into a sibling dir. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks for the help!

EC clevo
If it is identical to the Clevo that System76 uses then it may be possible to use their firmware.

Loud fans on new Oryx Pro Advanced
This bit of documentation is also helpful, recommends getting the entire firmware-open stack and checking out the current firmware release that you're running and use that as a base for your modifications. This is important because firmware regressions are not uncommon and they often take some time before they are resolved.

Controlling darp8 fans with software?
As for the tracking issue, you want #213. #256 is my proposal for persisting options through power loss.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing firmware-open and ec you can also consider the following projects:
tuxedo-control-center - A tool to help you control performance, energy, fan and comfort settings on TUXEDO laptops.
clevo-indicator - Ubuntu fan control indicator for Clevo laptops
coreboot - Fork of coreboot repo
system76-acpi-dkms - System76 ACPI Driver (DKMS)
me_cleaner - Tool for partial deblobbing of Intel ME/TXE firmware images
edk2 - EDK II
system76-galapago-pro-fan-unfucker - Ubuntu fan control indicator for Clevo laptops
fwup - Configurable embedded Linux firmware update creator and runner
clevo-indicator - Ubuntu fan control indicator for Clevo laptops
nbfc - NoteBook FanControl
linux - Pop!_OS fork of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux
