To my understanding the referenced "N3QHT.firmware" is not suitable for P14s Gen 4 AMD (21K5) - N3QHT.firmware is for the Intel variants for the P14s. The right BIOS Package ID R2FUJ36W containing v1.16 (R2FET36W) with v1.14 (R2FHT30W) has been released on 2023/11/24 on Lenovos site, but I can not find any reference to this in the fwupd/LFVS metadata. Maybe the entry for the P14s Gen 4 AMD (21K5, which I am having too) is still missing? @mrhpearson The GUIDs for the System Firmware on my P14s Gen4 AMD (21K5) are identical to the ones from @tststired :18cced7e-d108-41c4-9189-b0355c41450d and 230c8b18-8d9b-53ec-838b-6cfc0383493a
Isn't N3Q for the embedded controller? https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.lenovo.ThinkPadR2FET.firmware This one should be for the BIOS. I'm still not able to find the N3QHT for the EC but am able to install the 1.16 lvfs.
I'm pretty sure "N3Q" is for the Intel devices, only.
Nevertheless I'm able to confirm fwupdmgr found the R2FET v1.16 update now (which has been released 4 days ago according to your link. thanks!) on a P14s Gen4 AMD.
Hmm I'm not sure because I always assumed that EC and BIOS have separate firmware, can @mrhpearson confirm this? https://fwupd.org/lvfs/search?value=t14+gen+4 because here when i search, there's 2 BIOS system firmware update paths, and only one EC path.
There is no (standalone) Embedded Controller Update for the AMD variants available on LVFS for now, as far as I understand. See the titles in https://fwupd.org/lvfs/search?value=t14+gen+4 where they mention "AMD" if it is suitable for the AMD variant:
Ah appears you're right in the details of the 1.16 release it mentions the "This package updates the UEFI BIOS (including system program and Embedded Controller program) stored in the ThinkPad computer to fix problems, add new functions, or expand functions."
Interesting that intel variants get a split EC update
Just to clarify on the nomenclature: The first three chars are the platform - N3Q is the intel variant and R2F is the AMD variant. The next two chars is the FW type. ET is BIOS, HT is EC (and others have different codes) After that is the version.
For the G4 AMD EC FW - I just checked and version 1.15 was uploaded 6 days ago but is still under embargo and hasn't been tested yet. Can someone bug me if it's not been released by the end of the week and I'll nag them for an update, but it looks like it's just working it's way thru the process right now.
Hello,
Since https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/com.lenovo.ThinkPadN3QHT.firmware are now on lvfs I thought I'd be able to update them but unfortunately when I run
fwupdmgr refresh
andget-updates
nothing seems to happen.fwupdmgr get-updates
fwupdmgr get-devices --show-all-devices
Manual installation of the cab file shows no supported devices found
