Abstract
An Information Handling System (IHS) includes multiple hardware devices, and a baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in communication with the plurality of hardware devices. The BMC includes executable instructions for beginning execution of a first BMC firmware stack, and during execution of the first BMC firmware stack, halt execution of the first BMC firmware stack, and begin execution of a second BMC firmware stack. At least a portion of the executable instructions used to generate the first BMC firmware stack are different than the executable instructions used to generate the second BMC firmware stack.
