摘要： Embodiments described herein disclose the use of a compiler pre-processing component for the optimization of a firmware image so that it can be made to take up less space in a memory device without the use of compression. Embodiments identify repeated modules or common components across previously separate binary firmware modules within a body of software and automatically and seamlessly merge the content of these modules so they occupy less space in their binary form. The overhead footprint of the binary is reduced without modifying the pre-existing source code defining the individual components. In general, the resulting space savings is additive to the savings provided by existing compression savings techniques.
摘要翻译：本文描述的实施例公开了使用编译器预处理组件来优化固件图像，使得可以使其能够在不使用压缩的情况下占用较少的存储器空间。实施例在先前单独的二进制固件模块中识别重复的模块或公共组件，并且自动地并且无缝地合并这些模块的内容，使得它们以二进制形式占用更少的空间。减少二进制文件的占位空间，而不需要修改定义各个组件的预先存在的源代码。一般来说，节省的空间相当于现有压缩节省技术所节省的成本。

摘要： A method and apparatus to execute a pre-boot application within an emulated pre-boot environment to test functionality of the pre-boot application. The emulated pre-boot environment is executed within a user mode of an operating system (“OS”) during an OS runtime of the processing system. The pre-boot application interacts with a hardware device of the processing system via a kernel proxy agent. The kernel proxy agent executes in a kernel mode of the OS.

摘要： A firmware-based mechanism for creating, storing and retrieving variable-length records associated with error events occurring in a computer platform. The mechanism responds to error notifications by invoking a firmware-based error-handling module. The error-handling module retrieves processor-specific error information and may also interrogate the other components of the computer platform to determine their error status. Then, according to the nature of the discovered errors, the error-handling module may assemble the retrieved error information and status information into a variable-length error record, which the error-handling module may then store in a memory. On request from a processing agent, the error-handling module may retrieve a previously-stored error record and present it to the requesting agent. Thus, the invention provides a unified and standardized approach to computer error handling at the firmware level.

摘要： An alternative boot methodology that begins with legacy-free firmware allows the peaceful coexistence of legacy-free and legacy option ROMs in a system. Legacy-free firmware provides a legacy-free boot path from system power up to operating system loading. This legacy-free boot path is independent of any legacy firmware. A legacy-free boot manager boots from an ordered list of OS loaders. If a legacy boot option is available, legacy-free drivers that have already been loaded may be stopped, and a legacy boot using legacy firmware may be initiated, without having to reboot the system.
摘要翻译：从无遗留固件开始的替代启动方法允许系统中无遗留和遗留选项ROM的和平共存。无遗留固件提供从系统电源到操作系统加载的无遗留的引导路径。这种无遗留的启动路径与任何传统固件无关。无遗漏的引导管理器从有序的OS加载器列表引导。如果遗留启动选项可用，则可能会停止已加载的无遗留驱动程序，并且可能会启动使用旧版固件的旧式引导，而无需重新启动系统。

摘要： A method for tracking agents across loss of state events is described. After determining the number of terminal agents within a hierarchical agent system, an algorithm forms a first matrix containing data identifying agents within the hierarchical agent system. After a potential loss of state event has occurred, the algorithm forms a second matrix containing data identifying agents within the hierarchical agent system and compares the first matrix to the second matrix. If the matrices are identical, no agent switch occurred during the potential loss of state event. If the matrices are not identical, at least one agent switch occurred during the potential loss of state event.
摘要翻译：描述了跨越状态事件的跟踪代理的方法。在确定分层代理系统中的终端代理的数量之后，算法形成包含识别分层代理系统内的代理的数据的第一矩阵。在状态事件发生潜在的丢失之后，该算法形成包含分层代理系统中识别代理的数据的第二矩阵，并将第一矩阵与第二矩阵进行比较。如果矩阵相同，则在状态事件的潜在丢失期间不发生代理交换。如果矩阵不相同，则在状态事件的潜在丢失期间发生至少一个代理交换机。

摘要： A method is used with a computer that is capable of searching for a first identifier. The first identifier is associated with a first loader that causes the computer to load a virtual mode operating system and not a real mode operating system. The method includes providing a second loader to load both the virtual mode operating system and the real mode operating system into a memory of the computer. A second identifier that is associated with the second loader is provided to identify the second loader as the first loader.

摘要： Methods and architectures for performing hardware error handling using coordinated operating system (OS) and firmware services. In one aspect, a firmware interface is provided to enable an OS to access firmware error-handling services. Such services enable the OS to access error data concerning platform hardware errors that may not be directed accessed via a platform processor or through other conventional approaches. Techniques are also disclosed for intercepting the processing of hardware error events and directing control to firmware error-handling services prior to attempting to service the error using OS-based services. The firmware services may correct hardware errors and/or log error data that may be later accessed by the OS or provided to a remote management server using an out-of-band communication channel. In accordance with another aspect, the firmware intercept and services may be performed in a manner that is transparent to the OS.

摘要： A BIOS includes a core and multiple modules. The modules include both those that are platform specific and those that are not platform specific. Each module has a standard interface that allows the core (or other module) to call the module. A platform vendor constructs a BIOS by selecting modules from one or more vendors, which when executed can select modules that are suitable for the platform the BIOS resides in.
