Abstract: A system and method for converting raw frame data to a video file. Instead of converting all raw frame raw for each frame, embodiments create a mapping table and compare a mapping of the raw frame data for a current frame with a mapping of the raw frame data for a previous frame to determine if raw frame data changed from a previous frame to the current frame. Embodiments convert only the new raw frame data and update the mapping table with the new raw frame data, whereby the processing resources and time needed to convert raw frame data into a video file may be greatly reduced.

Abstract: A baseboard management controller in an information handling system receives a human interface device input and converts the human interface device input into a human interface device scan code for storage at a human interface device descriptor buffer. The baseboard management controller determines whether or not the human interface device descriptor buffer is full and copying, when the human interface device descriptor buffer is full, the human interface scan codes in the human interface device descriptor buffer to a memory segment and sending an error code to a host system. The baseboard management controller also clears the human interface device descriptor buffer and re-populates the human interface device descriptor buffer with the human interface device scan code and the human interface device scan codes from the memory segment.

Abstract: An information handling system may include a host system processor and a computer-readable storage medium communicatively coupled to the host system processor and having stored thereon a bootable update image file for performing a firmware update associated with the information handling system. The bootable update image file may be configured to, when read and executed by the processor, read policy settings stored within the information handling system setting forth update policies to be applied during application of updates defined within the bootable update image file and perform updates defined within the bootable update image file in accordance with the update policies.

Abstract: A bootable update image file may be configured to, if operating system driver updates associated with a firmware update are boot-critical: modify a boot order of the information handling system to cause the information handling system to boot to an operating system of the information handling system such that the operating system fetches driver update packages from an update partition of the information handling system, applies the driver update packages, and modifies the boot order to cause the information handling system to boot to the bootable image file in a subsequent boot and in the subsequent boot, apply the firmware update; and, if driver updates are non-boot-critical: apply the firmware update and modify the boot order to cause the information handling system to boot to the operating system such that the operating system fetches the driver update packages from an update partition and applies the driver update packages.
