Hello Sughosh,
why do we need this command? Shouldn't a simple reset do the job?
See chapter 8.5.5 "Delivery of Capsules via file on Mass Storage device"
of UEFI spec 2.8.
What might be of interest is a command to start a capsule from a memory
location. This would allow to load capsules from other locations than
directory \EFI\UpdateCapsule.
Best regards
