Abstract
A memory device update system includes a computing device couple to a management device. While the computing device is in a pre-boot environment, a memory device update engine in the computing device assigns a memory type, which is associated with the storage of memory device update information, to memory region(s) in a memory subsystem in the computing device. Subsequent to a boot of the computing device such that the computing device is in a runtime environment, the memory device update engine retrieves memory device update information from the management device and uses a data communication interface between the memory device update engine and the memory subsystem to write the memory device update information to the memory region(s) that were assigned the memory type. While the computing device is in the runtime environment, the memory subsystem then uses the memory device update information to update the memory subsystem.
