System and method to run basic input/output system code from a non-volatile memory express device boot partition

An information handling system, comprising:

• an embedded controller;
• a serial peripheral interface (SPI) read-only memory (ROM) device to store a first basic input/output system (BIOS) code for the information handling system;
• and
• a non-volatile memory device including a boot partition to store a second BIOS firmware, wherein the embedded controller detects a failure during a boot process, switches an SPI of a chipset from the SPI ROM to the embedded controller and recovers the first BIOS firmware based on the second BIOS firmware from the non-volatile memory device via an out-of-band network access.

A method comprising:

• storing a first basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware in a serial peripheral interface (SPI) read-only memory (ROM) device of an information handling system;
• storing a second BIOS firmware in a boot partition of a non-volatile memory-express device, wherein the boot partition of the non-volatile memory-express device can be accessed via an out-of-band network access;
• detecting a hardware failure during a boot process of the information handling system;
• switching an SPI of a chipset of the information handling system from the SPI ROM to an embedded controller;
• and
• recovering the first BIOS firmware in the SPI ROM based on the second BIOS firmware via the out-of-band network access.
