摘要： A method for accessing a protected area of a magnetic storage device via firmware control. During early system initialization, various firmware components are loaded and executed to initialize a computer system. These components include a firmware driver for accessing magnetic storage devices connected to the computer system. The system firmware enables a protected area on a magnetic storage device to be accessed under firmware control. After firmware accesses, the protected area is closed from access by non-firmware entities (e.g., operating systems) by “hiding” the true size of the media. Mechanisms are disclosed for providing firmware access to the protected area only during pre-boot, and for both pre-boot and run-time operations. The firmware-controlled media access scheme may be used to load firmware stored on magnetic media during pre-boot and to store system information in the protected area during pre-boot and/or run-time operations.

摘要： A method and system to switch between a Service virtual machine (VM) and a Guest VM in a virtual machine monitor (VMM) of a computer system. The VMM is loaded on the computer system to support a Service VM and a Guest VM. The Service OS is booted in the Service VM during the pre-boot phase. The Guest OS is booted in the Guest VM of the computer system. During OS runtime of the Guest OS, a VM switch is performed from the Guest VM to the Service VM without rebooting the computer system. The Service OS includes diagnostic tools to analyze the Guest OS. In one embodiment, the VM switch is performed by firmware of the computer system. In another embodiment, the VMM operates in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) framework standard.

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： A method and apparatus for detecting and responding to a system error. To detect the system error, a protected mode of operation is activated in a processing system. While the protected mode of operation is activated, the processing system is queried to determine whether a system error has occurred. If the system error is determined to have occurred, the system error is responded to based on a fault tolerance policy.

摘要： Apparatus and methods of managed runtime in an embedded partition are disclosed. An example processor system has a general partition having a central processing unit (CPU) to run a first operating system. An embedded partition has a second central processing unit (CPU) to run a second operating system. An inter-partition bridge exchanges an instruction between the general partition and the embedded partition. The first operating system includes a managed runtime environment filter to evaluate the instruction and determine whether the embedded partition can process the instruction.

摘要： A flash memory has an interleaved boot block compatible with multiple processor architectures. The interleaved boot block may include one boot block compatible with a first CPU architecture and another boot block compatible with a second CPU architecture. These two boot blocks may be combined in an interleaved manner in the flash memory so that during a boot process only one of the two boot blocks executes, although both are stored in the flash memory. By interleaving different boot blocks, a common socket computer system capable of supporting multiple processor architectures may be achieved without fully replacing an incompatible basic input/output system (BIOS). Further, the flash memory may contain an updatable portion in which any BIOS segments incompatible with a processor architecture may be updated via a recovery, or update, process.

摘要： A system and method to quickly and efficiently transfer data over a network to a processing system during a pre-boot runtime of the processing system. During a pre-boot runtime of the processing system, a plurality of data packets is received via a network. Each of the plurality of data packets contains one of a corresponding plurality of data segments. The plurality of data packets are parsed using a network protocol stack to extract the plurality of data segments during the pre-boot runtime. A portion of the network protocol stack is executed in a hardware entity of the processing system. The plurality of data segments is transferred into system memory of the processing system during the pre-boot runtime.
