FwupdPlugin – 1.0: Plugin: Thelio IO
Description: Reference for FwupdPlugin-1.0: Plugin: Thelio IO

## Introduction

This plugin is used to detach the Thelio IO device to DFU mode.

To switch to this mode `1` has to be written to the `bootloader` file in sysfs.

## GUID Generation

These devices use the standard USB DeviceInstanceId values, e.g.

- `USB\VID_1209&PID_1776&REV_0001`

## Update Behavior

The device usually presents in runtime mode, but on detach re-enumerates with a different USB VID and PID in DFU mode. The device is then handled by the `dfu` plugin.

On DFU attach the device again re-enumerates back to the runtime mode.

For this reason the `REPLUG_MATCH_GUID` internal device flag is used so that the bootloader and runtime modes are treated as the same device.

## Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the USB vendor, in this instance set to `USB:0x1209`

## External Interface Access

This plugin requires read/write access to `/dev/bus/usb`.
