BMC Command Line Method

Set the /tmp/images/ directory to be writable. From the BMC command line, run:

chown -R root:wheel /tmp/images && chmod -R ug+w /tmp/images

Use scp to copy the tar image to the BMC /tmp/images/ directory. From an external linux computer, run:

scp <tar_image_file> service@<bmc_ip>:/tmp/images/

To find the generated version id (8-character string), from the BMC command line, run:

ls /tmp/images/

Replace <version_id> with the output from the previous step, from the BMC command line, run:

busctl set-property xyz.openbmc_project.Software.BMC.Updater \
  /xyz/openbmc_project/software/<version_id> \
  xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation RequestedActivation s \
  xyz.openbmc_project.Software.Activation.RequestedActivations.Active

Wait for the update to finish and reboot the BMC.
