Abstract
In a method of detecting firmware using a first electronic device, the first electronic device comprises a first baseboard management controller (BMC). The first electronic device receives a first message of requiring the first electronic device from a host computer, to detect whether firmware of a second BMC of a second electronic device runs in a normal state. The electronic device sends a second message of requiring the second BMC to obtain whether firmware of the second BMC runs in the normal state. Once the second BMC dose not response to the second message in a first predetermined time period, the electronic device recovers the firmware of the second BMC using firmware of the first BMC.
