   BMC Reboot is
 required to boot
 from the updated
       image

```
- [1] [Software D-Bus Object](https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-interfaces/tree/master/yaml/xyz/openbmc_project/Software)
- [*] In a static layout configuration, the images are stored in RAM and the
      content is written to flash during BMC reboot. Reference the update and
      shutdown scripts provided by [initrdscripts](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/tree/master/meta-phosphor/recipes-phosphor/initrdscripts)
