Abstract
System and methods are provided for updating firmware used by a managed hardware component of an Information Handling System (IHS). A remote access controller of the IHS, that operates separate from CPUs of the IHS and that provides remote management of the IHS, initiates an update of firmware used to operate the hardware component. A programmable hardware accelerator is detected within an inventory of managed hardware components of the IHS. Availability of the hardware accelerator is determined for transmission of data to the hardware component. Transmission of a firmware image to the hardware component is delegated to the hardware accelerator, providing faster transmission of the firmware image than would be possible by the remote access controller. Upon transmission of the firmware image by the hardware accelerator, the firmware of the hardware component is updated using the firmware image transmitted by the hardware accelerator.
