Abstract:
An example computing device includes a connector to establish a wired connection with an electronic device. The computing device also includes a storage device storing a firmware. The firmware is to, in response to detecting a recovery trigger to repair an operating system of the electronic device, identify an operating system of the electronic device. The firmware is also to establish a communication channel between the computing device and the electronic device based on the operating system of the electronic device. The firmware is further to map a virtual network interface of the computing device to a transceiver of the electronic device and retrieve recovery data from a repository via the virtual network interface. The recovery data is transported to the computing device via the communication channel.
