Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media for communications between a peripheral device and host device in the absence of established connection between the devices are described. In one instance, an apparatus may include a host processor, a memory, and a controller coupled with the host processor and the memory and configured to detect for a communication broadcasted via an advertising channel by a peripheral device; determine whether a unique identifier previously communicated to the peripheral device is present in the detected communication; and provide a message corresponding to the communication to the host processor for processing, based on a result of the determination. The apparatus communicates with the peripheral device via a connection established over communication channels. The advertising channel and the communication channels are different. The connection between the devices is not established when the communication is broadcasted via the advertising channel. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a network interface receiving a firmware update from one or more packets. In some examples, the one or more packets indicate a start of a firmware update. In some examples, the network interface can also perform authenticating the start of firmware update indication and based on authentication of the firmware update, permit a firmware update of a device. In some examples, the device is one or more of: Board Management Controller (BMC), central processing unit (CPU), network interface, Ethernet controller, storage controller, memory controller, display engine, graphics processing unit (GPU), accelerator device, or peripheral device. In some examples, an end of firmware update indicator is received in the one or more packets. In some examples, communications are maintained through a port during a firmware change.
