Abstract
Systems and methods for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)-level processing of Out-of-Band (OOB) commands in heterogeneous computing platforms. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a heterogeneous computing platform having a plurality of devices, and an OOB Microcontroller Unit (MCU), Embedded Controller (EC), or networking device integrated into or coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform and distinct from a host processor of the heterogeneous computing platform, where the OOB MCU, EC, or networking device is configured to: receive an OOB packet while the host processor is in a low-power state, and execute an OOB command contained in the OOB packet, by the host processor, at least in part through initialization of UEFI without initialization of any video device.
