Upcoming EuroBSDCon OpenBSD talk Why rewrite fw_update(8)? By Andrew Hewus Fresh
OpenBSD provides the fw_update(8) utility to handle installing firmware for hardware from manufacturers whose licensing isn't compatible with our base system. We will take a trip into the history of fw_update(8), its structure and why it exists. A recent rewrite provides an illustration of the value OpenBSD places on simplicity and user experience.
Tickets are still available and this talk will be streamed and recorded for later release.
