In RDK, User Initiated Firmware upgrade is handled by org.rdk.System Plugin through ‘updateFirmware’ method. System plugin will invoke ‘deviceInitiatedFWDnld.sh’  script to communicate with Xconf server and fetch firmware information. Image download will be initiated by ‘deviceInitiatedFWDnld.sh’.

The device specific script can have implementation specific to the platform and will invoke the Flash Utility after verifying integrity of the firmware.
