  • Diagnostic boot cycles in a heterogeneous computing platform
    Patent number: 12693951
    Abstract: Systems and methods include an Information Handling System (IHS) that is adapted to provide diagnostic boot cycles. Once an IHS is powered, a boot sequence is initiated. During or after booting of the IHS, a request is detected for a diagnostic boot cycle by a requestor, such as by the operating system of the IHS. When a diagnostic boot cycle has been requested, an EC (Embedded Controller) of the IHS is booted in a diagnostic mode to perform a diagnostic test on one or more hardware components of the IHS. The results of the diagnostic test are stored to the NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory) that stores the boot code and that is accessible to the requestor of the diagnostic test once the IHS has been rebooted to a non-diagnostic mode.

  • CONTEXT BASED DIAGNOSTICS IN A HETEROGENEOUS COMPUTING PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20250315353
    Abstract: Systems and methods include an Information Handling System (IHS) that is adapted to support context-based diagnostics. The IHS may be adapted to determine when a supported diagnostic test has been requested. In response to detecting a request, an operating context of the IHS is determined, such as power status, thermal status and/or status of a user of the IHS. Based on the current operating context of the IHS, the requested diagnostic test is configured to be performed during operation of one or both of a diagnostic boot mode of the IHS and a host operating system of the IHS.
