7*649663afSMario LimoncielloFlashing the dGPU integrated firmware image (IFWI) is supported by GPUs that
8*649663afSMario Limonciellouse the PSP to orchestrate the update (Navi3x or newer GPUs).
9*649663afSMario LimoncielloFor supported GPUs, `amdgpu` will export a series of sysfs files that can be
10*649663afSMario Limoncielloused for the flash process.
11*649663afSMario Limonciello
12*649663afSMario LimoncielloThe IFWI flash process is:
13*649663afSMario Limonciello
14*649663afSMario Limonciello1. Ensure the IFWI image is intended for the dGPU on the system.
15*649663afSMario Limonciello2. "Write" the IFWI image to the sysfs file `psp_vbflash`. This will stage the IFWI in memory.
16*649663afSMario Limonciello3. "Read" from the `psp_vbflash` sysfs file to initiate the flash process.
17*649663afSMario Limonciello4. Poll the `psp_vbflash_status` sysfs file to determine when the flash process completes.

20*649663afSMario Limonciello------------
21*649663afSMario LimoncielloOn GPUs that support flashing an updated USB-C PD firmware image, the process
22*649663afSMario Limonciellois done using the `usbc_pd_fw` sysfs file.
23*649663afSMario Limonciello
24*649663afSMario Limonciello* Reading the file will provide the current firmware version.
25*649663afSMario Limonciello* Writing the name of a firmware payload stored in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu` to the sysfs file will initiate the flash process.
26*649663afSMario Limonciello
27*649663afSMario LimoncielloThe firmware payload stored in `/lib/firmware/amdgpu` can be named any name
28*649663afSMario Limoncielloas long as it doesn't conflict with other existing binaries that are used by
29*649663afSMario Limonciello`amdgpu`.
