This tool updates the firmware of Western Digital SSDs on Ubuntu / Linux Mint.

It provides a user-friendly interface to select the firmware version for the update process. It uses the Western Digital API and the NVME toolbox nvme-cli but is NOT associated in any case to them. It was originally developed for Frame.Work laptops, but should work with any Ubuntu / Mint device with Western Digital NVME SSD.
