cproudlock 99802ebbc9 BIOS: add OptiPlex 7080 (1.37.0)

Models.txt entry maps "7080" substring (matches WMI csproduct name
"OptiPlex 7080") to OptiPlex_7080_1.37.0.exe. BIOS .exe already
deployed to /srv/samba/winpeapps/_shared/BIOS/ on the live PXE
server via download-drivers.py.

Also adds docs/geastandardpbr-overrides.md tracking the local
geastandardpbr/ edits (user_selections.json + HardwareDriver.json
get a 7080 entry under "D11 OptiPlex Family") that the gitignore
prevents from being tracked directly. Includes a Python snippet
to idempotently re-apply after a fresh USB import.

geastandardpbr/ overrides

geastandardpbr/ is gitignored (USB-imported GE deployment package). Edits made locally to support new hardware models do not survive a fresh import.

This file tracks the local edits so they can be re-applied after a re-import. Apply by hand or via the snippet at the bottom.

OptiPlex 7080 (added 2026-05-08)

Reason: a 7080 arrived on the floor; check-bios.cmd was returning "no update in catalog" because no 7080 entry existed in the catalog files.

`geastandardpbr/Tools/user_selections.json`

Add to HardwareModelSelection (insert before the existing 7090 / D12 OptiPlex Family entry):

{
  "Model": "7080",
  "Id": "D11 OptiPlex Family"
}

`geastandardpbr/Deploy/Control/HardwareDriver.json`

Add a new entry (insert before the existing D12 OptiPlex Family / 7090 entry):

{
  "manufacturer": "Dell",
  "manufacturerfriendlyname": "Dell",
  "family": "D11 OptiPlex Family",
  "models": "OptiPlex 7080",
  "modelsfriendlyname": "7080",
  "FileName": "",
  "DestinationDir": "*destinationdir*\\Deploy\\Out-of-box Drivers\\Dell_11\\OptiPlex\\D11 OptiPlex Family",
  "url": "",
  "hash": "",
  "size": 0,
  "modifiedDate": "0001-01-01T00:00:00",
  "osId": "20,21",
  "aOsIds": [
    "20",
    "21"
  ],
  "imagedisk": 0
}

FileName, url, hash, size left empty. scripts/download-drivers.py resolves the actual driver pack from Dell's catalog by model name (extract_model_ids matches "7080") and downloads the latest pack at run time.

Side artifacts already on the live PXE server (10.9.100.1)

\\10.9.100.1\winpeapps\_shared\BIOS\OptiPlex_7080_1.37.0.exe (39.8 MB, BIOS update)
\\10.9.100.1\image-upload\Deploy\Out-of-box Drivers\Dell_11\OptiPlex\D11 OptiPlex Family\win11_70809ntr8_a09.zip (Win11 driver pack, 2.6 GB)
\\10.9.100.1\winpeapps\_shared\BIOS\models.txt includes the 7080 line.

These persist regardless of geastandardpbr/ rebuilds. Only the model-registry edits need to be re-applied after a USB re-import.

Re-applying after a fresh `geastandardpbr/` import

Either edit the two JSON files by hand following the snippets above, or run:

cd /home/camp/projects/pxe
python3 - <<'PY'
import json, sys
us = 'geastandardpbr/Tools/user_selections.json'
hd = 'geastandardpbr/Deploy/Control/HardwareDriver.json'

data = json.load(open(us))
add = {"Model": "7080", "Id": "D11 OptiPlex Family"}
for d in data:
    if "HardwareModelSelection" in d:
        if not any(m.get("Model") == "7080" for m in d["HardwareModelSelection"]):
            for i, m in enumerate(d["HardwareModelSelection"]):
                if m.get("Id") == "D12 OptiPlex Family":
                    d["HardwareModelSelection"].insert(i, add)
                    break
json.dump(data, open(us, 'w'), indent=2)

data = json.load(open(hd))
add = {
  "manufacturer": "Dell",
  "manufacturerfriendlyname": "Dell",
  "family": "D11 OptiPlex Family",
  "models": "OptiPlex 7080",
  "modelsfriendlyname": "7080",
  "FileName": "",
  "DestinationDir": "*destinationdir*\\Deploy\\Out-of-box Drivers\\Dell_11\\OptiPlex\\D11 OptiPlex Family",
  "url": "",
  "hash": "",
  "size": 0,
  "modifiedDate": "0001-01-01T00:00:00",
  "osId": "20,21",
  "aOsIds": ["20", "21"],
  "imagedisk": 0
}
if not any(e.get("models") == "OptiPlex 7080" for e in data):
    for i, e in enumerate(data):
        if e.get("family") == "D12 OptiPlex Family" and e.get("models") == "7090":
            data.insert(i, add)
            break
json.dump(data, open(hd, 'w'), indent=2)
print("done")
