Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs encoded on computer storage medium, for identifying, during a particular boot of an information handling system, basic input/output system (BIOS)-level events, each BIOS-level event associated with a different BIOS log event source; for each BIOS-level event: creating, by a respective driver computing module associated with the BIOS-level event, event data for the BIOS-level event; calling, by the respective driver computing module associated with the BIOS-level event, a dispatcher protocol to provide the event data associated with the respective driver computing module to a dispatcher computing module; placing, by the dispatcher computing module, each of the event data in a temporary data store, wherein each of the event data is unaltered; and creating, by the dispatcher computing module, a database log of the event data, including aggregating each of the event data to generate a sequence of events related to the particular boot of the IHS.

Abstract: A disclosed information handling system is configured to display a consistent logo or image throughout a platform initialization process. In a first-time boot, in a DXE phase, image information is read from firmware storage and processed for native resolution for a display panel and HOB information is saved to firmware volumes with Hand-Off Block (HOB) information. In subsequent iterations of the platform initialization process, the processed image is displayed early in a PEI phase and the HOB information is stored with the processed image. The image is displayed throughout the DXE and BDS phases of each subsequent platform initialization process and the display is consistent for different information handling systems and display panels.
