Package Details: dell-venue-8-pro-5830-wifi-firmware 1-1
Package Actions
Every attempt to load a new install from USB requires a full power-off (usually holding the power button down for about 20 seconds) and booting into BIOS (holding the Volume-Down and Power until the DELL logo shows, then release power and hold or tap the Volume-Down a time or two until the BIOS menu shows up), then going to Boot Boot Priority. Running nicely on a Dell Venue 11 Pro I needed a new computer and a new tablet but didn't want to spend a lot of money. I really like ChromeOS for simplicity and security as it has served my daughters very well through school and university.

@caltlgin, there is no upstream for this package since it's mostly just a convenient script to manage some binary blobs (WiFi chip firmware from the official download location + board data file from the Windows driver update package).
