1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
a heterogeneous computing platform; and
an Embedded Controller (EC) integrated into or coupled to the heterogeneous computing platform, wherein the EC is configured to:
wake up from a low-power state while a host processor of the heterogeneous computing platform remains in the low-power state; and
wake up a network device configured to access a cloud service through an Out-of-Band (OOB) channel to check a status of an OOB command buffer while the host processor remains in the low-power state.
