Abstract
In at least some embodiments, a computer system comprises a processor, a memory coupled to the processor. The computer system also comprises a network interface coupled to the processor. The memory stores a firmware composition tool that, when executed by the processor, is to build a composite image comprising an arbitrary number of firmware update images according to a set of format rules that enables a self-describing aggregation of the arbitrary number of firmware update images.
