## Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Intel VT-x
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Virtualization Technology is enabled, which provides support for high
|
||||
performance virtual machines.
|
||||
|
||||
### Intel VT-d
|
||||
|
||||
Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O is enabled, which provides
|
||||
support for passing PCIe devices to virtual machines, and for protecting against
|
||||
PCIe device craches and DMA attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
### Disabled Management Engine
|
||||
|
||||
The Intel Management Engine is disabled at runtime to improve security.
|
||||
|
||||
### TPM 2.0 Support
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2020-08-13.**
|
||||
|
||||
A discrete TPM 2.0 is available for use.
|
||||
|
||||
### Battery Charging Thresholds
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2020-10-19.**
|
||||
|
||||
Battery charging thresholds extend the life of the battery by reducing the
|
||||
maximum charge that the battery is charged to, as well as the minimum charge
|
||||
when charging the battery begins.
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard Customization
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2020-10-19.**
|
||||
|
||||
Keyboard customization allows the keyboard layout to be modified at runtime
|
||||
using the
|
||||
[System76 Keyboard Configurator](https://github.com/pop-os/keyboard-configurator/).
|
||||
|
||||
### Measured Boot
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2022-01-06.**
|
||||
|
||||
Measured boot uses the TPM to maintain hashes of all binaries used in the boot
|
||||
process. This allows for detecting changes to the firmware, which can be used
|
||||
by a system such as TPM2-TOTP or BitLocker to improve security.
|
||||
|
||||
### Firmware Security System
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2023-04-03.**
|
||||
|
||||
The firmware security system ensures both SoC and EC firmware is read-only at
|
||||
runtime. Unlocking the firmware requires the system to reboot and physical
|
||||
presence is required. The user must enter in a secure, randomly generated number
|
||||
before the system can boot any third-party code while unlocked. Both EC firmware
|
||||
and system firmware are locked on any boots where the prompt is not shown. For
|
||||
screenshots showing this prompt, see the pull request here:
|
||||
https://github.com/system76/firmware-setup/pull/18
|
||||
|
||||
### Secure Boot Support
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2023-04-03.**
|
||||
|
||||
A new firmware setup menu allows enabling and disabling Secure Boot and also
|
||||
allows for entering setup mode for custom key enrollment. Work is being done in
|
||||
Pop!\_OS to enable the use of custom secure boot keys, in addition to adding
|
||||
TPM2-TOTP authentication of the firmware boot path. For screenshots showing the
|
||||
new menus, see the pull request here:
|
||||
https://github.com/system76/edk2/pull/38
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows 11 Support
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2023-04-03.**
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 11 requires [TPM 2.0 Support](#tpm-20-support) and
|
||||
[Secure Boot Support](#secure-boot-support). The use of Windows 11 is
|
||||
recommended for Intel 12th Generation (Alder Lake) and newer systems, as it
|
||||
includes a new scheduler that supports the efficiency cores.
|
||||
|
||||
### NVIDIA Dynamic Boost
|
||||
|
||||
**Introduced in firmware version 2023-04-03.**
|
||||
|
||||
On new systems with the NVIDIA 4000 series GPUs, NVIDIA Dynamic Boost has been
|
||||
enabled with new code in coreboot. This allows power to be shared between the
|
||||
CPU and GPU, diverting power to the subsystem that needs it most. This can
|
||||
provide an additional 25W boost split between the CPU and GPU depending on the
|
||||
task, significantly improving throughput and framerates.
