ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus thereof for flashing a BIOS of a data processing system remotely are provided. A BIOS flash instruction is given remotely from a remote console, transmitted to a microprocessor and a corresponding storage media of the data processing system via network, where the microprocessor is irresponsible for operating system. A BIOS image file is identified correct before performing BIOS of a system microprocessor that is responsible for operating system, where the system microprocessor is usually CPU. BIOS is remotely flashed with this method and apparatus, and since flash operation is performed independently of the operating system of the data processing system, BIOS re-flash can be performed and data processing system can be rebooted even when flash operation is failed or operating system is disable.
