摘要： Embodiments of a system and method for enabling a target computer to download a boot image and operating system from a boot server computer over a network are described. The target computer system includes a host processor environment and a platform management coprocessor subsystem that includes a microcontroller for providing manageability of the target computer platform. During a network boot procedure, the platform management coprocessor code employs a network access channel to retrieve the boot server name and a network address for the target computer. The platform management coprocessor code implements security measures to help ensure secure interaction between the boot server and the target computer. Once the secure association is established, the network boot process uses the BIOS code for the successive bulk downloads of the operating system to be loaded onto the target computer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： In some embodiments, the invention involves adding a capability for a platform owner or administrator to ensure that the firmware is only executed in an owner-authorized fashion, such as with signed components managed by a security processor. Embodiments may extend the Core Root of Trust for Measurement (CRTM), via use of a cryptographic unit coupled to the security processor in a mobile Internet device (MID) as a Root-of-Trust for Storage (RTS) Storage Root Key (SRK), into a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) Platform Initialization (PI) image authorization and boot manager. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A method and apparatus for providing platform initialization enhancements is discussed herein. In one embodiment, buses, activities, devices, and/or nodes to be processed during boot, are processed in a non-blocking fashion, which potentially results in faster boot times. Moreover, some devices/nodes, such as root nodes, may be boot in an early phase of initialization to enhance both available resources and initialization times. Furthermore, early connects in an early phase of initialization may be performed to construct partial or entire device paths, which also potentially results in faster boot times.

摘要： Provided are a method, system and program for effecting a processor operating mode change to execute device code. A processor receives a call while the processor is operating in a first mode, wherein the call is made to effect execution of device code to control a device. The processor determines whether the call is intended to change a processor operating mode from the first mode to a second mode. The state of the processor is selectively changed to a second mode in which the processor executes second mode instructions loaded in a protected section of memory inaccessible to an operating system in response to determining that the call is intended to change the processor operating mode. The second mode instructions execute the device code to control the device.

摘要： A method and system for handling a management interrupt, such as a system management interrupt (SMI) and/or a platform management interrupt (PMI), includes sequestering one or more processor cores for handling the management interrupt. Generated management interrupts are directed to the sequestered processor core and not to other processor cores allocated to a main partition. The sequestered processor core(s) handles the management interrupt without disrupting the current operation of the remaining processor cores.

摘要： A method may include partitioning a plurality of processor cores into a main partition comprising at least one processor core capable of executing an operating system and an embedded partition comprising at least one different processor core. The embedded partition may be capable of: receiving a write request to write data on a target storage device; communicating with a remote system coupled to the embedded partition and remapping data corresponding to said write request to the remote system; detecting an error when attempting to write data to the storage device, leaving uncommitted data directed to the target storage device; and communicating with said remote system to retrieve the uncommitted data and writing the uncommitted data to the target storage device. The embedded partition of this embodiment may also be capable of performing these operations, at least in part, independently of said operating system being executed on said main partition.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for remotely managing a computer are disclosed. For example, a remote management agent is provided for use in a computer having a processor. The example remote management agent includes a communication agent in communication with the controller to contact a server before an operating system is loaded on the computer to obtain an initialization packet from a server and an initialization packet loader in communication with the controller to load the initialization packet in a protected memory area of the computer, before the operating system is loaded.The remote management agent also includes a monitoring agent, not associated with the operating system, in communication with the controller to monitor the computer for a communication from the server and a command line interface agent, also not associated with the operating system and in communication with the controller to interpret and respond to the communication from the server.

摘要： Disclosed is a system and method to provide a firmware enabled trap-based Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) implementation for disk drives. A plurality of disk drives in a RAID system are coupled to a chipset. A trap is defined in the chipset for input/output (I/O) accesses to a disk drive of the RAID system. Firmware of the chipset determines if an I/O access is to one of the disk drives of the RAID system, and if so, commands a trapping operation. During the trapping operation, the firmware processes the I/O access to an appropriate disk drive of the RAID system.

摘要： Methods and systems for allocating address space resources to resource requesting peripheral devices in an efficient manner. Resource requests are gathered for enumerated peripheral devices host by a computer platform. A map containing resource alignment requirements is built, and a virtual resource allocation map is computed based on aggregated resource requests and the alignment requirements. The resource aggregations are, in turn, based on a hierarchy of the peripheral devices. A bin-packing algorithm is employed to determine allocation of the resource requests so as to minimize resource address space allocations. The virtual resource map is then used to perform actual resource allocations. The resources include peripheral device I/O address allocation and peripheral device memory address allocations.
