Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, and apparatus for instantiating, by a computing system, a firmware recovery module in response to a detected firmware failure during a system startup. The firmware recovery module establishes access to a remotely disposed recovery server and retrieves from it a replacement or update firmware to address the firmware failure.
