## Webcam

The Acer Swift 3 uses the Intel Evo platform and a MIPI IPU6 camera, which has had little success in operating on Linux systems. Intel has available drivers, but these drivers require special userspace libraries and are not compatible with V4L2.

## Accessibility

The firmware interface on the Acer Swift 3 is simple and keyboard-oriented, so it should be trivial to use with OCR devices.

## Firmware

This article or section needs expansion.

Reason: The possibility of updating the UEFI with with fwupd should be documented here. (Discuss in Talk:Acer Swift 3 SF314-512)

### Secure Boot

Secure Boot is enabled by default in the BIOS.

Due to Acer's obsolete BIOS, the following messages are to be expected at boot:

    [    1.173096] integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65
    [    1.174519] integrity: Problem loading X.509 certificate -65
