Abstract
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus is a BMC. The BMC detects a boot failure from both an active firmware image and a recovery firmware image. The BMC starts a recovery protocol to acquire a fallback firmware image from a first source once it identifies the failure. The BMC flashes the obtained fallback firmware image onto its storage device. The BMC initiates a boot process using the fallback firmware image.
