Does updating firmware updates the bios in ubuntu 18?

  • 772

I am using ubuntu 18 and wish to update both the firmware and the bios. Does updating the firmware using this manual and this command update the bios as well as the firmware?

sudo fwupdmgr update
updates firmware update-manager bios fwupd

  1. No, it does not. A BIOS generally will only accept firmware updates from a flashdrive formatted in a specific way and with specific files on it in a specific way, when inside the BIOS menu. I'm pretty sure of this, given my experience updating the BIOS and firmware of some computers.
