Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to techniques for updating a BIOS image stored in a computer system. The BIOS image is stored in a flash memory and updated over an embedded system, such as a baseboard management controller (BMC). In one embodiment, a method for updating a BIOS image on a computer system includes receiving, by a service processor, an updated BIOS image over a communications channel, moving a current BIOS image from a first storage location to a second storage location, moving the updated BIOS image to the first storage location, receiving, from a chipset coupled to the service processor, a request to access the BIOS image on the server system, and directing, by the service processor, the request to access the BIOS image to the BIOS image in the second storage location.
