    • A method for restarting a processor-based system is disclosed. The basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware for performing the restart may or may not reside on the processor-based system. Where the local BIOS firmware is corrupt or not present, remote BIOS firmware is loaded into the processor cache by a specialized network interface card. The network interface card includes direct cache access (DCA) functionality, enabling it to store packets retrieved from the network directly into the processor cache, for faster processing. Remote downloading of the BIOS firmware from the network solves on-platform flash corruption within the processor-based system without costly board rework. Other benefits include mitigating the misappropriation of BIOS and chipset intellectual property, improved restart performance of the processor-based system, as well as improvement in chipset validation. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
    • 公开了一种重启基于处理器的系统的方法。 用于执行重新启动的基本输入/输出系统(BIOS)固件可能驻留在基于处理器的系统上,也可能不驻留在基于处理器的系统上。 在本地BIOS固件已损坏或不存在的情况下,远程BIOS固件由专门的网络接口卡加载到处理器缓存中。 网络接口卡包括直接高速缓存访​​问(DCA)功能,使其能够将从网络检索的数据包直接存储到处理器缓存中,以便更快的处理。 从网络远程下载BIOS固件可解决基于处理器的系统中的平台闪存损坏,而无需昂贵的板返工。 其他优点包括减轻对BIOS和芯片组知识产权的盗用,改进基于处理器的系统的重启性能,以及改进芯片组验证。 描述和要求保护其他实施例。

    • Firmware-based conversion methods for storing converted firmware variables in a firmware storage device, such as flash memory. Under one method, “eager” compression of firmware is performed. In response to a storage request, a determination is made to whether a compressor is available. If it is, the firmware variable is stored in a compressed form in the storage device; if not, the firmware variable is stored in an uncompressed form. In response to a read request for a stored firmware variable, a determination is made to whether the variable is stored in a compressed or uncompressed form. If it is compressed, a decompressor is employed to return the variable to its uncompressed form prior to providing it to the requestor; already uncompressed variables are provided directly to the requester. An application program interface is provided to enable operating system runtime access to the firmware variables. Similar conversions may be employed separately or in parallel, including encryption.
    • 用于将转换的固件变量存储在诸如闪存的固件存储设备中的基于固件的转换方法。 在一种方法下,执行固件的“急切”压缩。 响应于存储请求,确定压缩机是否可用。 如果是,固件变量以压缩形式存储在存储设备中; 如果没有,则固件变量以未压缩形式存储。 响应对存储的固件变量的读取请求,确定变量是以压缩形式还是未压缩形式存储。 如果它被压缩,则使用解压缩器在将变量提供给请求者之前将其变为未压缩的形式; 已经将未压缩的变量直接提供给请求者。 提供一个应用程序接口,以使操作系统运行时访问固件变量。 类似的转换可以单独或并行使用,包括加密。
