FwupdPlugin – 1.0: Plugin: Algoltek AUX
Description: Reference for FwupdPlugin-1.0: Plugin: Algoltek AUX

#### Plugin: Algoltek AUX

## Introduction

This plugin supports the firmware upgrade of DisplayPort over USB-C to HDMI converter provided by Algoltek, Inc. These DisplayPort over USB-C to HDMI converters can be updated through multiple interfaces, but this plugin is only designed for the DisplayPort AUX interface.

## Firmware Format

The daemon will decompress the cabinet archive and extract a firmware blob in a packed binary file format.

This plugin supports the following protocol ID:

- `tw.com.algoltek.aux`

## GUID Generation

These devices use the standard DPAUX GUID values, e.g.

- `DPAUX\OUI_0090CC24` (only-quirk)
- `DPAUX\OUI_0090CC24&HWREV_10` (only-quirk)
- `DPAUX\OUI_0090CC24&HWREV_10&DEVID_SYNAB2` (only-quirk)
- `DPAUX\OUI_0090CC24&DEVID_SYNAB2` (only-quirk)

These devices also use a custom instance ID consisting of `VEN` and `DEV` values, e.g.

- `MST\VEN_25A4&DEV_AG9421`

## Update Behavior

The firmware is deployed when the device is in normal runtime mode, and the device will reset when the new firmware has been programmed.

## External Interface Access

This plugin requires read/write access to `/dev/drm_dp_aux*`.

## Version Considerations

This plugin has been available since fwupd version `2.0.0`.
