1. An information handling system comprising:

  • a chassis operable to support processing components;

    a processor disposed in the chassis and operable to execute instructions for processing information;

    memory disposed in the chassis and interfaced with the processor, the memory operable to store the instructions and information;

    a management controller disposed in the chassis and interfaced with the processor, the management controller operable manage operational conditions associated with processing components within the chassis including at least the processor;

    a near field communication (NFC) transceiver disposed in the chassis and operable to wirelessly communicate with an NFC device external to the chassis; and

    a microcontroller interfacing the management controller with the near field communication transceiver, the microcontroller managing memory interfaced with the NFC transceiver, the memory storing information in support of NFC transceiver wireless communications, the memory including persistent and non-persistent memory;

    wherein the management controller populates management information in the microcontroller memory according to a file partitioning scheme that defines mapping to different memory locations.
