Abstract
Techniques to update firmware without a system reset include preserving state information associated with one or more firmware services, suspending processing of firmware service requests, loading an updated firmware image, and resuming processing of firmware service requests based on the preserved state information and the updated firmware image. Unpreserved states of one or more other firmware services may be recreated upon resumption of processing of the firmware service requests.
