Zusammenfassung: | Technologies for providing remote out-of-band firmware up-dates include a compute device. The compute device includes an out-of-band remote debug logic unit, a data path management logic unit connected to the out-of-band remote debug logic unit, and a firmware memory connected to the data path management logic unit. The out-of-band remote debug logic unit is configured to receive, from a remote compute device, a request to up-date firmware of the compute device. The request includes updated firmware. The out-of-band remote debug logic unit is also configured to send, in response to receipt of the request and in a first format, a write request to the data path management logic unit. The data path management logic unit is configured to convert the write request from the first format to a second format. The firmware memory is responsive to messages in the second format. The data path management logic unit is further configured to send the converted request to the firmware memory to write the updated firmware to the firmware memory. Other embodiments are also described and claimed. |
