Patent number: 11947675Abstract: An example computing device incudes a main processor, a management firmware subsystem, and a controller to control operation of the management firmware subsystem. The controller is separate from a main processor. A memory stores subsystem data that is useable by the controller. The computing device further includes a set of instructions that determines a manufacturing mode of the computing device. The manufacturing mode is enabled when the computing device is under manufacture or maintenance. The manufacturing mode is disabled when the computing device is under normal operation. The set of instructions further determines a manufacturing state of the subsystem data. The manufacturing state indicates whether the subsystem data is complete. In response to determining that the manufacturing mode is disabled and that the manufacturing state of the subsystem data is incomplete, the set of instructions initiates a restoration of the subsystem data from a backup of the subsystem data.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey Kevin Jeansonne, Rosilet Retnamoni Braduke
