Abstract
Systems and methods for Operating System (OS) discovery of, and interaction with, firmware framework devices. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include one or more processors; a memory coupled to the one or more processors, where the memory includes program instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to instantiate an OS; a controller, where the controller includes firmware that, upon execution by a processing core, causes the processing core to instantiate an orchestrator; and a plurality of devices coupled to the controller, where each device includes firmware that, upon execution by a corresponding processing core, causes the corresponding processing core to instantiate a node, where the nodes are configured to communicate with the orchestrator within a firmware framework without any involvement by the OS, and where the nodes and orchestrator are further configured to communicate with the OS.
