  • Platform system, method for changing support hardware configuration of universal extensible firmware interface basic input output system and computer program product
    Patent number: 9558016
    Abstract: A method for changing a support hardware configuration of a universal extensible firmware interface basic input output system (UEFI BIOS) is provided, and the change method is performed by a platform system. The method includes the following steps: in a boot stage, copying binary data of a setup menu in the UEFI BIOS to a memory or a storage medium, where a program of the setup menu to be displayed on a user interface is written in a visual forms representation (VFR) format, and a compiler compiles the program of the setup menu into the binary data of the setup menu in an internal forms representation (IFR) format; and writing a piece of address data to the UEFI BIOS, where the address data is used to query a location at which the binary data of the setup menu stored in the memory or the storage medium is located.
