Abstract
Technologies for performing a secure firmware update include a compute device that includes a memory device to store firmware update payload, one or more devices that have direct memory access (DMA) to the memory, a DMA remap module, and a firmware update module. The DMA remap module is to create a memory isolation domain for each of the one or more devices. Each memory isolation domain comprises a physical address space in the memory that is mutually exclusive to the physical address spaces of the other memory isolation domains. The firmware update module is to (i) analyze the firmware update payload to identify one or more of the devices associated with the firmware update payload and (ii) move the firmware update payload to the memory isolation domains of each associated device to enable secure transmission of the firmware update payload to the associated devices.
