Abstract

An electronic apparatus has an embeded firmware agent having instructions for selectively operating in a management mode and an embedded controller agent operating independent of a host operating system and selectively invoking the management mode. A bidirectional agent bus is coupled in between the embedded firmware agent and embedded controller agent to transmit messages between both the agents. Manageability and security operations that can be performed on a host system having these cooperative embedded agents.
