Abstract
Technologies for facilitating inter-system-on-a-chip (SoC) communication include a first SoC, a second SoC, and a dedicated manageability controller network. The first SoC includes a first main processor, a first manageability controller, and a memory dedicated to the first manageability controller and having manageability controller firmware stored thereon. The first manageability controller is different from the first main processor and to control functions of the first SoC. The second SoC is different from the first SoC and includes a second main processor and a second manageability control, which is different from the second main processor and to control functions of the second SoC. The second SoC is to access the manageability controller firmware of the memory of the first SoC over the dedicated manageability network.
