Abstract
A remote access controller device update system includes a memory system that is configured to store a BIOS firmware image including BIOS code and first remote access controller information. A BIOS is coupled to the memory system and is configured to utilize BIOS code stored on the memory system. A remote access controller device is coupled to the memory system and is configured to determine that the BIOS firmware image is stored in the memory system, and identify the first remote access controller information included in the BIOS firmware image. The remote access controller device then determines that the first remote access controller information provides an update to second remote access controller information stored on the remote access controller device and, in response, stores the first remote access controller information on the remote access controller device and performs at least one operation using the first remote access controller information.
