There’s also touchscreen controller (FT8006P) and GPS module (Teseo-LIV3F) with upgradable firmwares.

I assume your various claims are backed up by experience. Here is another one directed at Librem 5 firmware updates:

@dos

In fact, all of them can be performed on the Librem 5.

I would appreciate knowing how the TPS65982 USB PD controller and firmware jail instructions can be optimized to perform only on the Librem 5.

I will email Purism support about this edt_ft5x06 GitLab repository and follow up in this topic once I receive a response.

ATF, DDR training blob and DP firmware are included within u-boot, so you’ve already covered that.

Right, but each individual firmware has its own version that is behind upstream.

ATF:

Librem5 / arm-trusted-firmware · GitLab

GitHub - ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware: Read-only mirror of Trusted Firmware-A

DDR + DP:

Librem5 — Das U-Boot unknown version documentation

Get the ddr and display port firmware

$ wget https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/NMG/MAD/YOCTO/firmware-imx-8.15.bin
$ chmod +x firmware-imx-8.15.bin
$ ./firmware-imx-8.15.bin
$ cp firmware-imx-8.15/firmware/hdmi/cadence/signed_dp_imx8m.bin $(builddir)
$ cp firmware-imx-8.15/firmware/ddr/synopsys/lpddr4*.bin $(builddir)

The latest DDR + DP firmware is 8.23, which is eight point releases ahead of the u-boot documentation.
