Abstract
In some examples, a computing device sets an indication that an update of the firmware of the hardware component should be performed upon reboot. Upon boot-up of the computing device, a firmware update process is initiated in response to detection of the indication by the computing device. The firmware update process triggers the update of the firmware of the hardware component by starting execution of the executable firmware update. The computing device reports the results to an entity that is external of the computing device.
