Abstract

The present disclosure relates to utilizing a firmware configuration system to efficiently update a firmware profile configuration of computing devices (e.g., host devices in a datacenter). For example, the firmware configuration system facilitates updating the firmware profile configuration, such as for a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) profile and/or a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), without needing to develop, deploy, and install a new BIOS. More specifically, the firmware configuration system updates (e.g., via a baseband management controller) firmware profile configurations by modifying a profile configuration table in flash memory (i.e., on an SPI flash-based chip) of a BIOS with a firmware profile configuration update patch and without affecting other parts of the BIOS.
