Abstract

Embodiments generally relate to firmware management in a computing system. Disclosed are techniques that enable a unified firmware management for multiple embedded devices in a basic input/output system (BIOS) setup menu. By enabling a unified and comprehensive firmware update interface for multiple onboard embedded devices, the present technology can achieve an efficient firmware management mechanism.
