Abstract
Techniques are provided for device recovery using activation of a basic input/output system (BIOS) recovery image. One method comprises receiving an activation signal to initiate a recovery of a BIOS; obtaining, responsive to the activation signal, a BIOS recovery image from a recovery chip; updating a BIOS chip comprising the BIOS using the obtained BIOS recovery image; and initiating a boot process using the updated at least one BIOS chip. The activation signal may be received in response to a user physically activating a BIOS recovery activator (e.g., during an execution of a boot process). The activation signal may be received during an execution of a boot process for the at least one processing device and/or responsive to a failure occurring during the boot process for the at least one processing device.
