dell-xps-15-7590: enable fwupd and deep sleep
- This device supports firmware updates through `fwupd`. - Prefer deep sleep over s2idle which is inefficient. - Remove old cruft in the corresponding readme.

~~Wifi does not work with kernels older than 5.1 (firmware not present) or newer~~ (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=247705)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Update: The 48.ucode causes the Killer wifi card to crash. The iwlfwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode works perfectly.
|
|
||||||
default.nix contains an overlay that removes the offending ucode from the linux-firmware bundle.
|
|
||||||
To use it one also needs to enable unfree firmware in their own configuration (<code>hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware = true;</code>)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
# Use the systemd-boot EFI boot loader.
|
|
||||||
boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable = true;
|
|
||||||
boot.loader.grub = {
|
|
||||||
device = "nodev";
|
|
||||||
efiSupport = true;
|
|
||||||
efiInstallAsRemovable = true;
|
|

};
|
|
||||||
boot.loader.efi.canTouchEfiVariables = true;
|
|
||||||
boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_5_1;
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
Disable the `canTouchEfiVariables` after a boot or two to prevent NVRAM wearout.

This device is supported by [https://fwupd.org/ fwupd].
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may use <code>fwupdmgr</code> to perform firmware updates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Power management ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Deep sleep is preferred to the default S2 sleep mode, in order to reduce battery draining during suspend.
