PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use hardware to remotely provide a platform with a bus device ID, as well as software updates, software, and drivers. SOLUTION: A management engine may be used to trap configuration cycles during a boot process and thereafter in response to operating system enumeration. As a result, a virtual bus device can be created. The bus device may be used to provide software to the platform even when the operating system is corrupted or non-functional.
