Locate EFI\Manjaro directory

[Llama]

Hi,

I’ve been trying to update my BIOS according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

There’s a key point here: It is recommended to save the BIOS file to the root folder for easier access.

In the “flash mode” it sees my SSD like this, just two directories:

fs0:\EFI\Manjaro
fs0:\EFI\boot

Both directories are empty. The screenshot in the manual suggests that I put the BIOS file into fs0:\

Where is this “root folder” from my system point of view? It isn’t my / in Linux terminal. Where do I have to put the downloaded BIOS file to make it visible in terms of the “flash mode”?

fs0:\

I suppose is meant to be your ESP (EFI System Partition)

It should be /efi these days.
But I think manjaro still defaults to /boot/efi.

The sentence you quote from the manual is a reference to the USB media where you store the downloaded archive. The sequence number 3 is split over two pages and should be read as a whole.

3. Extract the BIOS-zip file that you have downloaded and paste it to your USB
   storage device.
   Note: It is recommended to save the BIOS file to the root folder for easier access.

Be sure to format the usb device with FAT32 (mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/USBPATH)

The location fs0:\ is usually your efi partition as seen by the efi shell.

In this case it seems to refer to the USB device - whether that is correct or not I cannot say. Use the dir command if you are in doubt.

The efi partition on Manjaro is mounted at /boot/efi as this is a grub requirement.

If your system is using systemd or refind the location may be /efi.

Thanks! The Manjaro installer has already taken care of FAT32 and things

/boot/efi it is.
