what is not clear to me is if I need to update both flash based and
host based firmware
Or maybe I just need to update host based and don't touch flash at all?
Looking at debian wiki:
"Many devices require a firmware to operate. Historically, firmware
were built-into the device's ROM or Flash memory, but more and more
often, the firmware has to be loaded into the device by the driver
during the device initialization"
Thanks for your help
