Following Dell and Lenovo becoming premier sponsors in contributing $100k USD annually to the LVFS/Fwupd project and in May HP became the third premier sponsor , announced this morning is NVIDIA becoming the fourth company now contributing $100k+ annually to this project enabling open-source firmware updating on Linux systems.
As part of their motivation for this sponsorship, NVIDIA has been distributing DGX Spark firmware via LVFS/Fwupd. Hopefully we'll see increased usage of LVFS/Fwupd by NVIDIA for their Vera Rubin servers, future platforms, and perhaps even graphics card firmware updates.
LVFS/Fwupd lead developer Richard Hughes of Red Hat confirmed the NVIDIA premier sponsorship this morning.
The current project sponsors can be found at Fwupd.org .
