Intel drivers (firmware) up to date

[mahesh]

Dear all,

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS up to date, freshly re-installed.

I just updated my system and I saw the system complaining about a missing missing firmware (tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin).
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-1038-oem
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin for module i915
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin for module i915


I am OK to update that firmware , with the command "update-initramfs".

But I checked the following link: INTEL Repository of firmware and I found newer INTEL firmwares to prevent bugs ! Such as:

• tgl_huc_7.5.0.bin - 2020-08-13
• tgl_huc_7.9.3.bin - 2021-06-29

So: How to tell our Ubuntu that all INTEL firmware files needs to be updated ?

• tgl_dmc_ver2_12.bin
• tgl_guc_62.0.0.bin
• tgl_huc_7.9.3.bin

Note: even the file "tgl_guc_49.0.1.bin" from 24-Nov-2020 (8 months ago) is missing and the system is NOT complaining about it. It would be good to be able to install them.

Cheers

Edit for partial answer provided :
The issue was broken down into 2 parts :

• Missing firmware files, in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, for initramfs, when it loads i915
• Module i915 is not updated, in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

The missing firmware is in the linux-firmware package here (from System76) https://launchpad.net/~system76-dev/.../ubuntu/stable
See monkeybrain20122 post here.

I still don't know how to tell the i915 nodule that new firmware files are available.
