Is LVFS not available for these devices? Sounds like it would be a better fit. https://fwupd.org/



The problem is that these firmware images are user-specific. Think of ergonomic keyboards[0], with a lot of dual-use keys, key combinations, macros, and layouts tailored to the user's intended use case. The configuration is baked into the firmware itself, so you can't just serve a single firmware image to everyone via LVFS.

Hmm, that's a poor design. Firmware should be separate from its configuration.
