RDKUI provides the option to perform the firmware upgrade. User can go to Settings->Other Settings->Advanced Settings-> Device -> Firmware Update

Validations
Validation performed in two devices. Amlogic skyworth and Sercomm realtek.
Amlogic skyworth
We need to follow the same steps as mentioned in the How to Prepare for XConf Server
To view the configurations set, we can use the Firmware Test page available as part of UI.
You can specify any key value parameters here in this document Key value is used as "estbMac" and value as the <device mac address>
here download location filter is used. this is to configure for specifying local hfs server's ip and protocol
Initial screen

Sercomm Realtek
The configuration used in Sercomm Realtek can be found same as the firmware test page as below. Here one more filter is configured which is rebootfilter this has rebootImmediately set to true , in addition to the Download filter.
Which means when user clicks for "Check for Update", downloaded this firmware information configured in the XConf server and boots up the image with that. In the screenshot, you would be able to see the image initially loaded was sercom-generic-mediaclient-image_FBT_6.0.0-rc4_20231107155246 to sercom-generic-mediaclient-image_FBT_6.0.0-rc3_20231011085623

STB will check for upgrade and downloads to the other partition and next time boots up with this image.
If reboot immediately filter is set to true in the XConf server, STB will go for immediate reboot once the image write is successful in the other partition.
Validations performed in two video accelerator devices and details are captured in Validations - Firmware Upgrade using RDKM XCONF Server
