==TECHNOLOGIES TO UPDATE FIRMWARE AND MICROCODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391637 titled 'TECHNOLOGIES TO UPDATE FIRMWARE AND MICROCODE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application related to updating boot firmware code or microcode. In some examples, a management controller includes a memory and a system processor, coupled to the management controller, is to perform boot operations based on different configurations.

* The management controller includes a memory and a system processor.
* The system processor performs boot operations based on different configurations.
* The first configuration involves reading first boot firmware code from the memory.
* The second configuration involves reading second boot firmware code from a flash memory.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in:
* Computer systems
* Embedded systems
* Server management

== Problems Solved ==
This technology helps in:
* Updating boot firmware code efficiently
* Managing different configurations for boot operations

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved system reliability
* Enhanced flexibility in boot operations
* Simplified firmware updates

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in:
* Data centers
* Network infrastructure
* Industrial automation

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of separate boot firmware code for different configurations in computer systems.

== Unanswered Questions ==

=== How does this technology impact system performance? ===
The article does not provide information on the potential impact of this technology on system performance. 

=== Are there any compatibility issues with existing systems? ===
The article does not address whether there are any compatibility issues with existing systems when implementing this technology.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Examples described herein relate to updating boot firmware code or microcode. In some examples, a management controller includes a memory and a system processor, coupled to the management controller, is to: based on a first configuration, perform a boot operation by a read of first boot firmware code from the memory of the management controller. Based on a second configuration, the system processor is to perform a boot operation by a read of second boot firmware code from a flash memory.
