Declaration [src]

FuFirmware*
fu_device_read_firmware (
  FuDevice* self,
  FuProgress* progress,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Reads firmware from the device by calling a plugin-specific vfunc. The device subclass should try to ensure the firmware does not contain any serial numbers or user-configuration values and can be used to calculate the device checksum.

The return value can be converted to a blob of memory using fu_firmware_write().

Available since: 1.0.8

Parameters

progress

Type: FuProgress

A FuProgress.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.

Return value

Type: FuFirmware

A FuFirmware, or NULL for error.

The caller of the method takes ownership of the returned data, and is responsible for freeing it.
