  • PLATFORM FIRMWARE BOOT MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20210110043
    Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate a computer system platform boot is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a system on chip (SOC), including a cache memory, a storage device to store platform firmware including boot code, a security controller to load the boot code into the cache during a platform reset and a processor to execute the boot code from the cache memory to initiate the SOC.

  • Automated preboot performance measurement
    Patent number: 10802833
    Abstract: A system includes a central processing unit (CPU) and components, a particular one of including logic to participate in a portion of a boot sequence of the system, where the portion of the boot sequence begins prior to activation of the CPU. The particular component is to send one or more signals to interact with another one of the components in the system during the portion of the boot sequence. The particular component includes a timer block to generate a set of timestamps during the portion of the boot sequence, where the set of timestamps indicates an amount of execution time of the particular component. The particular component sends the set of timestamps to the other component in a particular one of the one or more signals, where the set of timestamps are used to determine execution time of system components to complete the boot sequence.
