  • Automated bios platform configuration system
    Patent number: 11204775
    Abstract: A BIOS platform configuration system includes a BIOS coupled to hardware subsystems. During initialization operations, the BIOS communicates with each of the hardware subsystems and retrieves respective hardware subsystem information that is associated with each of the hardware subsystems and that describes at least a portion of a communication route between that hardware subsystem and at least one other hardware subsystem. The BIOS then combines the respective hardware subsystem information that is associated with each of the hardware subsystems to generate configuration information that describes complete communication routes between each of the hardware subsystems, and configures at least one of the hardware subsystems using the configuration information.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 21, 2021
    Assignee: Dell Products L.P.
    Inventors: Fernando Antonio Garcia Castillo, Wei G. Liu, Alberto David Perez Guevara, Mark W. Shutt, Benjamin Andrew Martinez
