  • Patent number: 11960899
    Abstract: An information handling system includes multiple dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The DIMMs form a memory system of the information handling system. The BIOS begins a system boot of the information handling system, and performs a first memory reference code training. Based on the first memory reference code training, the BIOS discovers a bad DIMM of the DIMMs, and stores information associated with the bad DIMM. The BIOS reboots the information handling system. During the reboot, the BIOS retrieves the information associated with the bad DIMM. The BIOS disables a slot associated with the bad DIMM. In response to the slot being disabled, the BIOS performs a second memory reference code training. Based on the second memory reference code training, the BIOS downgrades the memory system to a closest possible DIMM population.

  • Patent number: 11895244
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a BIOS and a service processor. The BIOS may generate, during a POST, a secret key that includes a symmetric key and a HMAC key and transmits the secret key to the service processor via an high-speed communication interface. After the POST, the BIOS transmits an SMI message that includes an encrypted message and a first hash value of the encrypted message. The encrypted message is encrypted using the symmetric key and the first hash value of the encrypted message is calculated using the HMAC key. The service processor calculate a second hash value of encrypted message based on the HMAC key and verify the encrypted message by comparing the first hash value and the second hash value. After a successful verification, the service processor decrypts the encrypted message and transmits a response to the BIOS.

  • Publication number: 20240037237
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing the operation of data processing systems are disclosed. A data processing system may include a computing device that may enter various operating states by performing various types of startups. The startups may include use of code bases for which the computing device may not inherently be able to validate. To reduce risk of using the code bases, the computing device may perform processes to validate the code bases prior to using the code bases. Additionally, the computing devices may limit the types of interfaces that may be established during the startups while allowing other types of interfaces to be established to provide startup flexibility.

  • Publication number: 20240028729
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory, a basic input/output system (BIOS), and a baseboard memory controller (BMC). The memory stores a current BMC reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) driver. The BIOS receives a firmware update release. The firmware update release includes a first BMC RAS driver. The BIOS stores the first BMC RAS driver in a predetermined location of the memory. The BMC reads the first BMC RAS driver from the memory. The BMC also determines whether a first version of the first BMC RAS driver is different than a second version of a second BMC RAS version loaded in the BMC. In response to the first and second versions being different, the BMC loads the first BMC RAS driver.

  • Patent number: 11724233
    Abstract: A first wafer has a first stop layer deposited on a substrate, the substrate used to form a base support structure. A second wafer has a second stop layer deposited on a sacrificial substrate, and a filter layer deposited on the second stop layer. A rib layer is deposited on one of: the first stop layer of the first layer; or a third stop layer that is deposited over the filter layer. A rib pattern is formed in the rib layer. The first and second wafers are flip bonded such that the rib pattern is joined between the filter layer and the first stop layer. Elongated voids are formed within the filter layer. The base support structure is formed within the substrate of the first wafer such that there is a fluid flow path between the base support structure, the rib layer, and the elongated voids of the filter layer.

  • Patent number: 11615190
    Abstract: A secure boot policy may be stored in the information handling system and used to create a trusted relationship with a CPU, including a neutral CPU that has not been fused with an OEM key. The secure boot policy may be a data blob including platform-specific identification information (e.g., one or more of flash memory unique ID, motherboard ePPID), a boot policy (e.g., specifying to enable or disable neutral CPU fusing), and a signature. The secure boot policy may be stored in a one-time-programmable (OTP) storage of the information handling system, such as an OTP region in the serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash memory part storing the basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS may verify the secure boot policy using a public key and check if the boot policy is bound to current BIOS flash part and/or system configuration, and then apply the boot policy if the verification is passed.
