  • Patent number: 9363468
    Abstract: A vehicle display system and methods of controlling the same. In certain embodiments, an image processing module receives video signals from a video camera and generates first video data in a first format. A system management mode (SMM) program is stored in a memory. When executed at a processor, the SMM program reads the first video data from a first area of the memory, converts the first video data to second video data in a second format, and writes the second video data to a second area of the memory. A PCI express switch forwards the first video data in the first format to a memory controller for storing in the first area of the memory, and forwards the second video data in the second format from the second area of the memory to the graphic controller.

  • Patent number: 9250919
    Abstract: A computing device is configured with a single memory device having multiple firmware images stored therein. At a boot time of the computing device, one of the firmware images is selected for use in booting the computing device. The selection of the firmware image to use for booting the computing device might be based upon the state of a hardware jumper, a board revision identifier, a silicon revision identifier, the results of a checksum operation, the presence or absence of one or more peripheral devices, user-specified settings, and/or one or more other factors. Firmware images might be stored in the single memory device in various combinations that include, but are not limited to, a fast-boot firmware, a full functionality firmware, a recovery firmware, a diagnostic firmware, a motherboard-specific firmware, an operating system-specific firmware, a pre-operating system operating environment firmware, an application-specific firmware, and/or a pre-operating system application firmware.

  • Patent number: 8510543
    Abstract: Technologies for a basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware that can take different boot paths depending on the operating system that a user selects to boot within a computer system are described herein. Each boot path can handle initialization differently based upon the needs of the operating system and overall project design. A method for supporting multiple boot paths on a computer includes receiving a boot path indicator that indicates a boot path to be executed. Once the boot path indicator is received, the boot path corresponding to the boot path indicator is executed and an operating system corresponding to the boot path indicator is booted.
