System and method of providing updates
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may receive an interrupt from a device associated with the information handling, the device different from a memory medium; retrieve an executable from the device; store the executable via the memory medium; provide a signal to an operating system executing on the information handling system, the signal indicating that the executable was stored via the memory medium; and execute the executable via the processor, the executable configured to: retrieve, from the device, a device driver and firmware for the device; and install the device driver and the firmware for the device.
1. An information handling system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory medium coupled to the processor that includes instructions executed by the processor causing the information handling system to:
receive an interrupt from a device coupled to the information handling system, the device different from the information handling system;
retrieve an executable from the device;
store the executable via the memory medium;
provide a signal to an operating system executing on the information handling system, the signal indicating that the executable was stored via the memory medium; and
execute the executable via the processor, the executable configured to:
retrieve, from the device, a device driver and firmware for the device; and
install the device driver and the firmware for the device.
2. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the information handling system to communicate with the device via the device driver.
3. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the device is a docking station coupled to the information handling system and to one or more peripheral devices.
4. The information handling system of claim 3 , wherein the docking station includes an interface to allow communication between the information handling system and the one or more peripheral devices.
5. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the interrupt is an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) interrupt.
6. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the information handling system to receive the signal via at least one of a Windows Management Interface (WMI) and a Common Information Model (CIM).
7. The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the device is a peripheral device coupled to the information handling system, the peripheral device including an interface to allow communication between the information handling system and the peripheral device.
8. A method of operating an information handling system, comprising:
receiving, by information handling system firmware, an interrupt from a device coupled to the information handling system, the device different from the information handling system;
retrieving, by an interrupt handler of the information handling system firmware, an executable from the device;
storing, by the interrupt handler, the executable via a memory medium of the information handling system;
providing, by the interrupt handler, a signal to an operating system executing via a processor of the information handling system, the signal indicating that the executable was stored via the memory medium;
executing, by the operating system, the executable via a processor of the information handling system;
retrieving, by the executable, a device driver and firmware for the device; and
installing, by the executable, the device driver and the firmware for the device.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising communicating with the device via the device driver.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the device is a docking station coupled to the information handling system and to one or more peripheral devices.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the docking station includes an interface to allow communication between the information handling system and the one or more peripheral devices.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the interrupt is an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) interrupt.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving, by the operating system, the signal via at least one of a Windows Management Interface (WMI) and a Common Information Model (CIM).
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the device is a peripheral device coupled to the information handling system, the peripheral device including an interface to allow communication between the information handling system and the peripheral device.
15. A computer-readable non-transitory memory medium that includes instructions executed by a processor of an information handling system causing the information handling system to:
receive an interrupt from a device coupled to the information handling system, the device different from the information handling system;
retrieve an executable from the device;
store the executable via the memory medium;
provide a signal to an operating system executing on the information handling system, the signal indicating that the executable was stored via the memory medium; and
execute the executable via the processor, the executable configured to:
retrieve, from the device, a device driver and firmware for the device; and
install the device driver and the firmware for the device.
16. The computer-readable non-transitory memory medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the information handling system to communicate with the device via the device driver.
17. The computer-readable non-transitory memory medium of claim 15 , wherein the device is a docking station coupled to the information handling system and to one or more peripheral devices.
18. The computer-readable non-transitory memory medium of claim 17 , wherein the docking station includes an interface to allow communication between the information handling system and the one or more peripheral devices.
19. The computer-readable non-transitory memory medium of claim 15 , wherein the interrupt is an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) interrupt.
20. The computer-readable non-transitory memory medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the information handling system to receive the signal via at least one of a Windows Management Interface (WMI) and a Common Information Model (CIM).
