SIMtrace and fwupd

Hi all, My name is Richard Hughes and I work for Red Hat. I'm the maintainer of fwupd, an open source firmware update system designed for Linux. We're updating thousands of devices every month safely and securely using the fwupd and the Linux Vendor Firmware Service. I'm also the guy behind the OpenHardware ColorHug device, so I'm particularly interested in making firmware updates easy to apply on open source and free software devices. I see SIMtrace is using DFU, and fwupd can already talk to DFU-using devices using the libdfu library so I don't think any actual additional code would be required in fwupd. For your device, it would just be creating a cabinet with the required metadata included. If this is interesting, please see http://www.fwupd.org/ or email me back for more details. I can create you a dummy account on the LVFS if you'd like to upload some test firmware. If your device doesn't have any firmware updates, and you don't plan of issuing any, please disregard this email. Thanks for reading! Richard.
