System and method for operating system initiated firmware update via UEFI applications
An information handling system includes a memory and a central processor. The memory stores a firmware update for a component of the information handling system. The central processor is operable in a pre-boot mode and in an operating system runtime mode. The central processor, while in the operating system runtime, updates a location of the firmware update in the memory via a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) runtime service, and triggers a firmware update for the component, via the UEFI runtime service, by a boot option number being set to a BootNext EFI variable.
