The guide covers why it doesn’t show in fwupd :)

Imagine you could upgrade our Byte (our little Linux mini-PC with coreboot).
What would you tweak or add to make it even better?
We’re considering a gaming version :)
Share your ideas, we’re all ears!

Hi, Thanks for reaching out.
Yes; in our opinion, GNOME's support the the tablet formfactor is vastly superior to any other desktop environment. If you have more questions, we are happy to help :)

Hi Albert, check the link here:

https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/firmware/issues/180

We’ve just released a new firmware update "25.05", and we’re pretty excited about it! This one includes some key improvements, better performance, increased stability, and a few behind-the-scenes tweaks that make everything run smoother.

For more details, check the link below:

@reklame Hi Thomas, what model do you have? Unfortunately just as we were signing the StarLite V and StarBook VI firmware, we noticed a bug with those models. The team are working on that now - we are hoping just a day or two until they are released to stable. The 25.05 firmware is available for all other models. Sorry for the confusion...we got a bit excited and posted slightly prematurely 😂

@reklame It's now available Thomas. Sorry for the delay. Hope you enjoy it 🙂

@rpawlinski @reklame
We've recently seen a few issues with fwupd (it pulls updates from LVFS). Some people don't see updates, and some see failed to back up original firmware: failed to read flash [2].
We're looking into it now, but it's hard to say how long it'll take. Given that we've worked with the LVFS for years, it likely won't be long.
Please wait until Wednesday the 28th and then try to update again. Most likely, we'll have the issue fixed, but if not,we'll post an update in our guide.

@rpawlinski @reklame

This solves every known issue we have, apart from two. The two known issues affect only the StarLite Mk V:
1. **Bluetooth scanning doesn't work**; this is currently broken in kernels later than 6.10, and there are no easy workarounds available at the moment.
2. **Suspending is slow/unreliable**; this is a bug in Linux, the easiest way to workaround it is to remove the SD card reader tray.

Please feel free to reach out to our support team if you need more help.

Hi everyone! Just curious, what Linux distro are you running and what made you choose it?

@quad @hj for those with open Fighter orders, you should have received an update last week. If you haven't, please contact us so we can look into it.

We initially offered the Fighters on a made-to-order basis, but this approach was expensive and led to significant delays. We shifted to "mass" production to speed things up and make them more freely available and cheaper. As a small company, this has taken time, given the amount of work and investment required.

We do appreciate your support!

@aaribaud Debian uses an invalid boot label so coreboot won't add it automatically. It's something Debain needs to change unfortunately we can't do from our end

@zak

Not long to wait now....

I promise!

Hi Aral,

After a brief chat in the office, I've been told it's an issue with GNOME.

I spent the best part of the day trying to construct a reply to that effect without feeling like I was finger-pointing because, on the company account, that's a no-go.

And then I went down this rabbit hole:

Hey Mastodon.
I'm not a huge gamer but if you wanted to watch a video of someone testing a Starlite with some games and an external monitor there is a youtube here.
