Abstract:
A storage may store machine-readable instructions for execution by a processor. Execution of the machine-readable instructions may cause the processor to receive an update capsule via a firmware update interface. The update capsule may include a device identifier and a payload. The payload may include data that is different from a firmware update. Execution of the machine-readable instructions may cause the processor to execute a virtual device handler, based on the device identifier, to process the payload.
