Systems and methods for firmware updates with health status checks in a firmware framework are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include: a controller, where the controller includes firmware that, upon execution by a processing core, causes the processing core to instantiate an orchestrator of a firmware framework; and a plurality of devices coupled to the controller, where each device includes firmware that, upon execution by a corresponding processing core, causes the corresponding processing core to instantiate a respective node, and where a given node is configured to communicate an indication of a health status to the orchestrator without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS).
