In production, consumer devices periodically update their read/write firmware during auto-update cycles. This happens when the firmware bundled with a newly update image is different from the firmware currently installed on the device. In the test lab, this step is suppressed, to prevent devices from inadvertently updating to a new firmware version as a consequence of installing a new Chrome OS build for testing. In particular, because the firmware is updated whenever the bundled firmware is _different_, and not merely _more recent_, suppressing the update prevents unexpectedly downgrading the firmware. Nonetheless, we sometimes want more recent firmware on a DUT than the image that was delivered from the factory. This test allows updating the firmware to the installed firmware bundle, using the same procedure as is used during autoupdate.
