Crucial SSD firmware - grub

crucial-ssd-firmware-grub

‘crucial-fw.pl’ is a little script to generate a single grub config for any crucial ssd firmware upgrade. It’s a perl script.

You need:

 LWP::UserAgent
 File::Copy
 Archive::Extract (debian like: apt-get install libarchive-extract-perl)
 Archive::Zip (debian like: apt-get install libarchive-zip-perl)

‘crucial-fw.pl’ generates a file for grub (default is /etc/grub.d/45_crucial-fw). Depending on the iso file, it will switch between two loading mode and grab the isolinux.cfg if needed. This configuration is creating a submenu entry for grub containing one menu entry for each ssd reference specified in the configuration.

Your linux kernel must be able to mount a loopback iso file (loop and isofs modules). Any vanilla kernel is.

You have to maintain the .cfg file up-to-date.

 crucial-fw.pl <options>
   Options:
     -h | --help  : usage
     -a | --all   : generate all grub menu entries
                    (default behavior is to scan for SSD types)
     -t | --type  : specific ssds type to generate (multiple allowed)
     -l | --list  : list ssds type managed

Default behavior is to try to detect the kind of ssd running on the current host. You can generate all of them with the '-a' option.
