Abstract
An information handling system includes a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and a management controller. The management controller establishes a communication channel with the UEFI, and provides a memory path associated with a driver associated with an operation to be performed in the UEFI. Based on the memory path, the UEFI receives the requested driver from a memory associated with the UEFI, and loads the requested driver. The UEFI executes the loaded requested driver, and provides an execution status for executed driver to the management controller.
