# 3mdeb Enhancing The UEFI Update Capsules Experience For Open-Source Firmware

**[Phoronix](https://daily.dev/sources/phoronix)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

3mdeb is improving the UEFI update capsule experience for open-source firmware used by Coreboot and their Dasharo downstream, focusing on LVFS/Fwupd integration, nicer UI/UX during firmware updates, caching RAM training data to speed up first boot after updates, and better error reporting and recovery. These improvements will roll out as targeted motherboards receive new major firmware releases, and 3mdeb is working to upstream the changes to relevant open-source projects. Systems expected to benefit include a Gigabyte AMD EPYC server board and an MSI AM5 desktop board running Dasharo.

## Questions this post answers

### Does updating Dasharo or Coreboot firmware require RAM training to run from scratch every time?

Not with upcoming improvements from 3mdeb, which aim to cache RAM training data across firmware updates so the first boot after an update is faster instead of retraining memory timings from scratch. This work is rolling out alongside UI/UX and error reporting improvements to UEFI update capsules for Coreboot-based Dasharo firmware, targeting systems like Gigabyte EPYC server boards and MSI AM5 desktop boards.

### What is 3mdeb doing to improve UEFI firmware update capsules for open-source firmware?

3mdeb is enhancing LVFS/Fwupd integration for deploying UEFI update capsules on Coreboot-based Dasharo firmware, adding a nicer end-user display during updates, caching RAM training data to speed up post-update boot times, and improving error reporting and recovery. These changes will roll out as targeted motherboards receive new major firmware releases, with plans to upstream the work to the relevant open-source projects.
