Device management in a firmware framework

A method, comprising:

• producing, by an Embedded Controller (EC) of an Information Handling System (IHS), an orchestrator;
• producing, via a plurality of devices coupled to the EC, a plurality of nodes participating with the orchestrator in a firmware framework;
• and
• providing a given node access to a device tree maintained by the orchestrator via the firmware framework without any involvement of any host OS of the IHS.

An Embedded Controller (EC) integrated into or coupled to a heterogeneous computing platform of an Information Handling System (IHS), the EC comprising:

• a processing core distinct from any host processor of the heterogeneous computing platform;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processing core, the memory having firmware instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processing core, cause the EC to provide an indication of a device tree to a user of the IHS, at least in part, in response to a upon a comparison between:
• (a) contextual or telemetry data, and (b) a device management policy, wherein the device management policy enables one or more device tree operations with respect to a selected one of a plurality of devices of the heterogeneous computing platform via a firmware framework and without any involvement by any host Operating System (OS) of the IHS.
