To update the BIOS/UEFI firmware requires HP-specific files in the EFI System Partition, also referred to as ESP.
On a Linux system, the ESP is typically mounted on /boot/efi
or /efi
. Whithin you should also find a EFI
directory, e.g. /boot/efi/EFI
or /efi/EFI
. This article assumes that the ESP is mounted on /efi
and that the /efi/EFI
directory exists. You can replace that with the mount point your system uses.
The HP-specific files are located in /efi/EFI/HP
or /efi/EFI/Hewlet-Packard
. These files typically come preinstalled in HP Windows PCs. If you have these files you could skip Install HP-specific files.
