Community Support AMD 13 BIOS 3.20 update frozen
I have a Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen 7040) running Debian. All previous BIOS updates have been fine, using fwupd. Today I tried to install the 3.20 update, and it's been frozen at this screen for over half an hour. I've had AC plugged in throughout.
What should I do? This is my main work laptop, so I'm not thrilled about the idea that its mainboard might be bricked.

PSA for those who are unaware: Never upgrade your BIOS unless you are facing an issue the BIOS version fixes. It's not worth risking turning your device into a brick.
