Abstract
A BIOS/BMC initialization communication system includes a storage device having a controller memory buffer device, a BMC device coupled to the storage device, and a BIOS coupled to the storage device. During initialization operations, the BIOS configures the controller memory buffer device for BIOS/BMC communications, and transmits controller memory buffer device utilization information for the controller memory buffer device to the BMC device. The BIOS may then communicate with the BMC device during initialization operations by providing a BMC command in the controller memory buffer device, determining that the BMC device has provided a BMC response in the controller memory buffer device, and retrieving the BMC response. Similarly, the BMC device may communicate with the BIOS during initialization operations by providing a BIOS command in the controller memory buffer device, determining that the BIOS has provided a BIOS response in the controller memory buffer device, and retrieving the BIOS response.
