But where most PCI cards could not be software upgraded in the field, the question on how to update firmware on attached PCI devices is not obviously standardized (or am I missing something?). So under Windows, the manufacturers of NVMe modules deliver their proprietary update tool, but what do we do in a Free Operating system like GNU/Linux? </p> <p> In this blog post I will take a quick look at how I was able to upgrade the firmware of my <b>Kingston SA2000M8250G</b> NVMe drive in my desktop system. </p> <p><a href="https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/de/posts/linux/nvme-fwupdate.html?pk_campaign=feed">Weiterlesen…</a> (3 min verbleiben zum Lesen)</p></div>https://blog.lazy-evaluation.net/de/posts/linux/nvme-fwupdate.htmlThu, 03 Apr 2025 22:01:27 GMT
