Component Firmware Update (CFU) is a mechanism developed by the Microsoft Devices team which allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s) and Independent Hardware Vendors (IHV’s) a reliable, robust against power interruptions and authenticated mechanism for updating firmware for devices that have shipped to customers. This release contains a reference device driver for delivering the firmware payload to a target device, and reference firmware for receiving the firmware payload and associated documentation.
