Abstract:
A method includes creating, by system firmware at an information handling system, a virtual Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) bus device. A management service event is registered by a bus device driver corresponding to the virtual ACPI bus device. The management service event, when executed, determines whether a target device is in a condition to receive revised firmware.
