International Classification:

G06F 21/57

US Classification:

711103

Abstract:

A computing device includes a non-volatile storage component with a first portion to include active firmware for components of the computing device and a second portion to include a firmware package to modify the active firmware. The computing device installs firmware from the firmware package and determines if the firmware is successfully installed before proceeding to install subsequent firmware from the firmware package. The computing device uninstalls the firmware package to restore the active firmware if a firmware from the firmware package fails to install.
