+description     "dumps VPD information for chrome://system"
+author          "chromium-os-dev@chromium.org"
+
+# VPD (Vital Product Data) information is shown on chrome://system for
+# user, feedback, and partner's customer service center.
+#
+# This script will read VPD from BIOS and dump into /var/log/vpd_2.0.txt.
+# It should be executed at least once some time after boot and before user
+# types "chrome://system" in chrome location bar.
+#
+# Since VPD utility could invoke flashrom utility to access BIOS, which is
+# slow, this script should be run after calculating boot time.
+# Hence, later than boot-complete can be acceptable.
+start on stopped boot-complete
