## Prerequisites

* _UEFI Shell_<br>
UEFI Dasharo firmware has this, but won't hurt to call it out explicitly.
If your Dasharo firmware does not include the UEFI Shell as a boot option, you will
need an external boot device, such as a USB drive containing the UEFI Shell.
* _Storage device available from UEFI Shell_<br>
Not all file-systems are available to UEFI, so not all storage devices and
partition on them will be usable for the purpose of capsule updates. An
ESP (EFI System Partition, where `EFI/` directory is located) is a good choice
because it should be always readable by UEFI.
If you're running the UEFI Shell from a USB drive, this step is already
covered - you can simply continue using the same USB drive.
* _`CapsuleApp.efi`_<br>
This is a UEFI application which passes a capsule file to firmware to perform
an update.
