# Update the device firmware

Updating device firmware using a capsule update involves preparing the device, installing a capsule package, and rebooting the device to process the update. The process ensures that the firmware is updated by capturing the update payload in a capsule file, which the system firmware then processes during the reboot. This method is efficient and helps maintain the integrity and functionality of the device’s firmware.
