Abstract
Examples include updating firmware for a persistent memory module in a computing system during runtime. Examples include copying a new version of persistent memory module firmware into an available area of random-access memory (RAM) in the persistent memory module, and transferring processing of a current version of persistent memory module firmware to the new version of persistent memory module firmware during runtime of the computing system, without a reset of the computing system and without quiesce of access to persistent memory media in the persistent memory module, while continuing to perform critical event handling by the current version of persistent memory module firmware. Examples further include initializing the new version of persistent memory module firmware; and transferring processing of critical event handling from the current version of persistent memory module firmware to the new version of persistent memory module firmware when initializing the new version of persistent memory module firmware is completed.
