Abstract

Methods and systems for managing firmware update events for data processing systems are disclosed. A firmware update event may indicate that an updated firmware image is available for hardware resources of a data processing system. A management controller for the data processing system may utilize an out of band communication channel to obtain the updated firmware image from a server while bypassing hardware resources of the data processing system. The updated firmware image may be verified, stored, and utilized to update firmware for the hardware resources to obtain an updated data processing system. The updated data processing system may provide computer-implemented services.
