I ran fwupdmgr refresh; fwugdmgr get-updates; fwupdmgr update but it fails with the following output:

device version not updated on success, 24.03 != 24.02

NixOSs fwupd isn't built with flashrom support, you'll need to either build it yourself or use another distro.

[r-vdp]

I did build it myself with flashrom support, it has worked without issues before.

I just rebooted and in the firmware UI, it reports the firmware as 24.03 and the EC as 24.02. Is that expected?

[Sean-StarLabs]

Yeah, likely just hasn't had a chance to do the EC yet
