Flash Intel Arc GPU Firmware in Linux

Just ran through this...finally. Finished in ~5 minutes.

Was just as confused as other people in the thread regarding how optional the various files are. My ASRock A310 Low Profile had nothing matching in the matrix for oprom-data, oprom-code or fw-data. Reading through the thread carefully and checking a few resources I went ahead with ONLY the dg2_gfx_fwupdate_SOC2.bin update, and it went through completely fine. I did also notice a significant increase in transcoding performance (as if I needed even more overhead lmao)

Firmware stuff is a bit scary so I get the caution around it but just to re-iterate if anyone else is confused: you can go ahead with only the files that match your specific card. If you have no matching oprom-data, oprom-code or fw-data, that simply means there is no update available for those for your card. Maybe a note about this should be included in the guide.

TDP isn't frequent around these parts anymore, but you are correct that you can upgrade only the components that apply to your card. I'll see about adding an edit.

I made the edit by adding a note after the files list. Let me know if you think that's sufficient. It's what I gleaned from the other posts here.
