Abstract
An information handling system includes a first memory to store firmware core data for a peripheral device. A second memory includes a video framebuffer portion and a firmware core data portion. In response to a firmware exception within the peripheral device, the second memory receives the firmware core data. A baseboard management controller communicates with the peripheral device and with the second memory. The baseboard management controller queries the peripheral device for firmware storage capabilities of the peripheral device, and notifies a user of the information handling system that a firmware crash of the peripheral device has occurred. In response to the firmware crash of the peripheral device, the baseboard management controller receives the firmware core data from the peripheral device.
