Patent abstract

Various embodiments provide for the live updating of system software or firmware, such as BIOS information, without the need for a reboot. A payload containing BIOS update information can be generated and signed with an encryption key. The information in the payload is able to be updated through a live update, and can be selected in part based on the configuration and BIOS version of the computing device to be updated. Upon an update being triggered, a target device is placed into a management mode wherein normal work is suspended and the device is isolated. The payload is verified and decrypted, and appropriate functions called in order to update the relevant BIOS information. After the update is verified, the device exits management mode and resumes a typical workflow. If the update is not successful, or unable to be performed via live update, a conventional update can be performed that includes a reboot.
