Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and recovering a heterogeneous integrated circuit, such as an FPGA, operating with firmware. A firmware image for the integrated circuit is stored in a storage device. The operational status of the integrated circuit is periodically determined via a controller such as a BMC. A failure of the integrated circuit is determined. The stored firmware image is sent to the integrated circuit. The firmware image is installed on the integrated circuit. The controller determines whether the installation of the firmware image results in restoration of the integrated circuit.
