Abstract
Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for updating a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) for an Information Handling System (IHS). In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may receive a BIOS image with appended metadata, extract at least a portion of the metadata from the BIOS image, communicate information about metadata contents to an embedded controller via a telemetry service, evaluate prerequisites in the metadata against a current BIOS and IHS status, initiate a BIOS update if the prerequisites are satisfied, communicate information regarding BIOS update progress to the embedded controller via the telemetry service, and determine whether the BIOS update was successful after rebooting the IHS.
