发明名称 Self-monitoring and updating of firmware over a network
摘要 Embodiments include monitoring a computing system to determine whether firmware of the computing system is corrupted, hung up, or requires automatic update. The computing system may then request firmware update data over a network. Moreover, the computing system may include a controller with capability to determine whether the firmware is corrupted or hung and request and receive firmware update data over a network. In addition, the controller may have the capability operate when the firmware is corrupted or hung up, if the processor is held up, and if the operating system is halted, hung up, or soft-off. In addition, if the controller detects that the firmware is corrupted or hung up, the controller may halt the processor while updating the firmware.
