crucial-ssd-firmware-grub ‘crucial-fw.pl’ is a little script to generate a single grub config for any crucial ssd firmware upgrade.It’s a perl script.
You need:
LWP::UserAgent File::Copy Archive::Extract (debian like: apt-get install libarchive-extract-perl) Archive::Zip (debian like: apt-get install libarchive-zip-perl)‘crucial-fw.pl’ generates a file for grub (default is /etc/grub.d/45_crucial-fw).Depending on the iso file, it will switch between two loading mode and grab the isolinux.cfg if needed.This configuration is creating a submenu entry for grub containing one menu entry for each ssd reference specified in the configuration.
Your linux kernel must be able to mount a loopback iso file (loop and isofs modules). Any vanilla kernel is.
You have to maintain the .cfg file up-to-date.
crucial-fw.pl <options> Options: -h | --help : usage -a | --all : generate all grub menu entries (default behavior is to scan for SSD types) -t | --type : specific ssds type to generate (multiple allowed) -l | --list : list ssds type managedDefault behavior is to try to detect the kind of ssd running on the current host.You can generate all of them with the '-a' option.
