Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system may include a processor and an access controller communicatively coupled to the processor. The access controller may include a memory having a bootloader portion including a first memory address and a second memory address a second processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The second processor may be configured to: (i) attempt to execute the a first copy of a bootloader stored at the first memory address; (ii) in the event of a failure to execute the first copy of the bootloader, copy a second copy of the bootloader stored at the second memory address to the first memory address; and (iii) subsequent to copying the second copy to the first memory address, attempt to execute the second copy of the bootloader stored at the first memory address.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing instant-on functionality on an embedded controller are disclosed. A method of providing instant-on functionality on a controller comprises an initial state, an intermediate state and a final state. The initial state comprises installing a first responder code, enabling the first responder code and enabling a timer interrupt service routine. The intermediate state comprises registering the first responder code as a timer interrupt service routine. The timer interrupt service routine initiates periodic processing. The final state comprises registering a steady-state interrupt service routine.
