Abstract
A software update system includes a chassis housing a plurality of component, an Operating System (OS) engine that is configured to provide an OS, and a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). The BMC is coupled to each of the plurality of components, as well as to the OS engine via an OS-to-BMC interface. The BMC retrieves a software update catalog that includes a plurality of software updates, and identifies OS software updates that are included in the plurality of software updates in the software update catalog, and component software updates that are included in the plurality of software updates in the software update catalog. The BMC provides the OS software updates to the OS engine via the OS-to-BMC interface, and the OS engine provides the OS software updates for the OS. The BMC then provides the component software updates for the plurality of components.
