An information handling system includes a memory and a baseboard management controller. The memory stores one or more device update packages, and each of the first device update packages includes an inter-integrated circuit payload. The baseboard management controller receives a first device update package, and stores the first device update package in the memory. In response to the first device update package being stored in the memory, the baseboard management controller launches a handler. The baseboard management controller retrieves a bus number and an address for a target device identified in the first device update package. The baseboard management controller parses data in a body of the inter-integrated circuit payload of the first device update package, and executes inter-integrated circuit commands in the body to provide a firmware image update to the target device.

Intelligent device updating

A support information provisioning system a support device, an external device; and a customer device. The customer device includes an external connector and a remote access controller device that is coupled to the external connector. In situations where the customer device is experiencing at least one customer device issue that prevents the customer device from provisioning support information related to the operation of the customer device, the remote access controller device operates to detect that the external device has been connected to the external connector and, in response, automatically cause new support information about that customer device to be generated. When the external device is subsequently connected to the support device, it may then provide that new support information to the support device for analysis.
