Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with secure firmware update in a bare metal cloud environment are described. In one embodiment, a trusted device for causing a component of a computing device to accept a firmware update is presented. The device includes a management interface configured to receive a command that authorizes a firmware update to the component. The device further includes a recovery device logic that is configured to generate a signal configured to cause the component to enter a recovery mode. The recovery mode configures the component to accept the firmware update. The device also includes an interface of the device that is configured to pass the signal to the component to cause the component to enter the recovery mode and accept the firmware update.
