Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for applying a component update using a management engine are disclosed. A computing device may include a management engine to store a bootable image containing an update for a component of the computing device in a secured memory location and configure the computing device to boot from the bootable image. Such configuration may include configuring the computing device for integrated device electronics redirection (IDE-R) to the bootable image. A firmware update server may generate the bootable image containing the update, digitally sign the bootable image, and transmit the bootable image to the computing device for the update to be applied. The firmware update server may sign the bootable image with an original equipment manufacturer key, such as a firmware signing key. The firmware update server may notify all computing devices connected to a network that the update is available. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
