Abstract
A baseboard management controller (BMC) of an information handling system may notify an operating system of the information handling system of receipt of a firmware update for a PCI component. The operating system of an information handling system may receive a notification from a BMC of the information handling system, via a basic input/output system (BIOS), of the information handling system that the BMC has received the firmware update. The operating system may halt traffic to the PCI component for which an update has been received, and the update may be applied to the component.
