Platform/quirks still mentions the deprecated asahi-fwextract

[jannau]

Update documentation and check for additional mentions of asahi-fwextract

Perhaps also clarify whether the asahi-firmware package becomes useless in distro requirements, and if so drop asahi-fwupdate in asahi-scripts?

Using the installer doesn't work for me, I have an encrypted installation, so I would need a way to copy over the firmware manually please.

@kubrickfr It doesn't make much sense to encrypt /boot with asahi imho. I also use full disk encryption on Void, but /boot is in plain

$ ls /boot 
asahi  m1n1  vendorfw 

and this change does not bother me at all, since vendorfw stuff happens in the initramfs. The only missing piece is for mini to be able to boot signed stage2 payloads (for me the stage2 payload is kernel, but it could be also u-boot), which is why they are writing it in rust if I am not mistaken.

[kubrickfr]

/boot is not encrypted, but that's not where the fw lives, on fedora at least.

EDIT: actually, it might be, in /boot/efi/vendorfw/. Let's see if that works...

[kubrickfr]

I confirm it works. I just assumed that because typically firmwares are bundled in the initramfs from other locations. I guess I would have to run dracut to really update the firmware?

[kubrickfr]

I guess it worked because now I have graphic corruption issues in chrome and firefox :)

[dkwo]

No, nothing is bundled: the initramfs just unpacks whatever is in /vendorfw. If you read their docs it is explained.
