摘要： A method and system to optimize ordering of firmware modules. Optimizing the dispatch order of firmware modules reduces the boot time of a computer system. A plurality of module-to-module interfaces are collected from a plurality of firmware modules, wherein a module-to-module interface allows a first firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules to invoke a second firmware module of the plurality of firmware modules. A plurality of dependency expressions corresponding to the plurality of firmware modules are collected, wherein each dependency expression of a firmware module describes the module-to-module interfaces needed for execution of the firmware module. The plurality of firmware modules are sorted into an optimized order based on the plurality of dependency expressions and the plurality of module-to-module interfaces. In one embodiment, the plurality of firmware modules operate in accordance with an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification.

摘要： When transitioning from sleep mode to active mode, a processing system loads first stage resume content and second stage resume content into a volatile memory of the processing system. The first stage resume content may contain contextual data for a first program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The second stage resume content may contain contextual data for another program that was in use before the processing system transitioned to sleep mode. The processing system may provide a user interface for the first program before all of the second stage resume content has been loaded into the volatile memory. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： A method to qualify access to a block storage device via augmentation of the device's controller and firmware flow. The method employs one or more block exclusion vectors (BEVs) that include attributes specifying allowed access operations for corresponding block address ranges. Logic in accordance with the BEVs is programmed into the controller for the block storage device, such as a disk drive controller for a disk drive. In response to an access request, a block address range corresponding to the storage block(s) requested to be accessed is determined. Based on the BEV entries, a determination is made to whether the determined logical block address range is covered by a corresponding BEV entry. If so, the attributes of the BEV are used to determine whether the access operation is allowed. The method may be used to secure access to firmware stored on a disk drive, thus enabling a system configuration that does not require a conventional firmware storage device.

摘要： 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.
