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 instructions for executing a first BMC firmware stack that uses certain data for its operation. The data used by the first BMC firmware stack is stored in a first memory location. The instructions are further configured to halt execution of the first BMC firmware stack, and begin execution of a second BMC firmware stack by copying the data from the first memory location to a second memory location used by the second BMC firmware stack.
