摘要： Described herein is an apparatus for dynamically adjusting a voltage reference level for optimizing an I/O system to achieve a certain performance metric. The apparatus comprises: a voltage reference generator to generate a voltage reference; and a dynamic voltage reference control unit, coupled with the voltage reference generator, to dynamically adjust a level of the voltage reference in response to an event. The apparatus is used to perform the method comprising: generating a voltage reference for an input/output (I/O) system; determining a worst case voltage level of the voltage reference; dynamically adjusting, via a dynamic voltage reference control unit, the voltage reference level based on determining the worst case voltage level; and computing a center of an asymmetrical eye based on the dynamically adjusted voltage reference level.

摘要： A modular BIOS update mechanism provides a standardized method to update options ROMs and to provide video and processor microcode upgrades in a computer system without requiring a complete replacement of the system BIOS. The MBU mechanism provides several advantages. First, new features and BIOS bugs from earlier release may be delivered to an installed base of end-user systems even if direct OEM support cannot be identified. Also, BIOS components may be provided as a validated set of revisions. With resort to a validation matrix, BIOS updates may be managed easily. The modular BIOS update is particularly useful in systems having several independent BIOS's stored within unitary firmware.
摘要翻译：模块化BIOS更新机制提供了一种标准化方法来更新选项ROM，并在计算机系统中提供视频和处理器微代码升级，而无需完全更换系统BIOS。 MBU机制提供了几个优点。首先，即使直接的OEM支持无法识别，早期版本中的新功能和BIOS错误也可能会发送到最终用户系统的安装基础。此外，可以将BIOS组件提供为经过验证的修订版本。通过使用验证矩阵，可以轻松管理BIOS更新。模块化BIOS更新在具有存储在单一固件中的几个独立BIOS的系统中特别有用。

摘要： Memory channel training parameters are function of electrical characteristics of memory devices, processor(s) and memory channel(s). Training steps can be skipped if the BIOS can determine that the memory devices, motherboard and processor have not changed since the last boot. Memory devices contain a serial number for tracking purposes and most motherboards contain a serial number. Many processors do not provide a mechanism by which the BIOS can track the processor. Described herein are techniques that allow the BIOS to track a processor and detect a swap without violating privacy/security requirements.
摘要翻译：存储器通道训练参数是存储器件，处理器和存储器通道的电特性的函数。如果BIOS可以确定自上次启动以来，内存设备，主板和处理器没有更改，则可跳过培训步骤。存储器件包含用于跟踪目的的序列号，并且大多数主板都包含序列号。许多处理器不提供BIOS可以跟踪处理器的机制。这里描述的是允许BIOS跟踪处理器并检测交换而不违反隐私/安全要求的技术。

摘要： A startup program for protecting against corruption of firmware resides in multiple blocks of a firmware device in a processor-based system. While the firmware device typically stores code, the device may additionally store data that is accessible to application programs. The startup program confirms that the block from which it executes is a valid startup block. If the block is not a valid startup block, the startup program searches the other blocks in the firmware device for a valid startup block. Upon identifying a valid startup block, the startup program sets an execution address such that subsequent initialization of the processor-based system occurs from the startup block.
摘要翻译：用于防止固件损坏的启动程序驻留在基于处理器的系统中的固件设备的多个块中。虽然固件设备通常存储代码，但是设备可以另外存储应用程序可访问的数据。启动程序确认其执行的块是有效的启动块。如果该块不是有效的启动块，则启动程序将搜索固件设备中的其他块以获取有效的启动块。在识别有效的启动块时，启动程序设置执行地址，使得基于处理器的系统的后续初始化从启动块发生。
