AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
In the field of server technology, the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) delays the execution of firmware update tasks in low-power mode, resulting in resource waste and low update efficiency.
Method used
The baseboard management controller periodically sends target requests to the firmware update platform. After receiving a wake-up notification, it switches to a high-power operating mode, performs a self-test, and completes the firmware update within a predetermined time. It also resolves potential faults in a timely manner through fault indication information.
Benefits of technology
It improves the efficiency of firmware updates, reduces resource waste, ensures thorough self-checks and timely troubleshooting, and avoids update failures.

Abstract
The present application relates to the technical field of servers, and discloses a firmware update method, a computer device, a storage medium, and a program product. The method comprises: a baseboard management controller periodically sending a target request to a firmware update platform; the firmware update platform acquires second version information on the basis of identification information in the target request, and when determining, on the basis of first version information and the second version information in the target request, to perform a firmware update operation, the firmware update platform generates a wake-up notification and sends the wake-up notification to the baseboard management controller; and the baseboard management controller, when in a first working mode, switches to a second working mode, performs a self-check operation in the second working mode, and when a timing time meets first time indication information in the wake-up notification, obtains an operation result of the self-check operation, and when the operation result is successful and a target file is received, performs the firmware update operation. The present application can complete a firmware update task in a timely manner.
