BIOS Update on Linux

[NiklasMadi]

Hello Guys,

I am currently trying to update my BIOS Version from F.15 to a newer one.

When I enter BIOS I can not select the "Use local device" method, because it is not displayed in my BIOS.

I also tried booting the newer BIOS Version, but no new Version is on the hp website.

The tool provided from hp only works on windows, so I can not use it on linux.

I want to update my BIOS, so that I can change to boot order of my device.

Information:

- Product Name: HP Laptop PC 15s-fq2000
- BIOS Revision: F.15

- BIOS Vendor: AMI

- OS: Arch Linux 6.12.20-1-lts
- Firmware Date: Wed 2021-09-15

Thank you for your help 🙂
