FwupdPlugin – 1.0: Plugin: UEFI Recovery
Description: Reference for FwupdPlugin-1.0: Plugin: UEFI Recovery

## Introduction

Some devices have firmware bugs which mean they do not include a valid ESRT table in old firmware versions.

Create a ‘fake’ UEFI device with the lowest possible version so that it can be updated to a version of firmware which does have an ESRT table.

## GUID Generation

All the HwId GUIDs are used for the fake UEFI device, and so should be used in the firmware metadata for releases that should recover the system.

## Vendor ID Security

The vendor ID is set from the BIOS vendor, for example `DMI:LENOVO`

## External Interface Access

This plugin requires no extra access.
