How to update BIOS on a system that only use Linux as OS.

Asking this because some clowns at Acer decided that they will only provide BIOS updates through Windows Update.

Edit: I’m not talking about installing the BIOS file. They don’t even provide BIOS file in the first place.

    I have saved bricked systems with this flashing tool. Just backup whatever is already on the BIOS chip with

    flashrom --programmer model_name -r /path/to/backup.bin

    before proceeding, so that it can be copied back over if anything goes wrong.
