Abstract: Systems and methods for integrated facility connectivity assessments are provided. In one embodiment, an integrated connectivity assessment system comprises: a user terminal, wherein the user terminal is configured to define a location of interest within a facility; and a backend query and aggregation system, wherein the backend query and aggregation system is configured to query a backend infrastructure information system for connectivity information based on the location of interest and determine a plurality of connectivity metrics for the location of interest based on responses from the backend infrastructure information system, wherein the plurality of connectivity metrics is associated with a plurality of different types of connectivity; wherein the user terminal is configured to present the connectivity metrics on a user interface as an augmented reality presentation over an image of the location of interest.

Abstract: A method for providing a firmware developer user interface in a multi-nodal computer system comprises polling for a break command during boot of a multi-nodal computer system and invoking a firmware developer user interface when the break command is encountered.

Abstract: A detector detects information about a firmware system. The detector includes an interface that receives a generic instruction. The generic instruction may be a function call made through an EFI shell. The detector has a controller communicatively connected to the interface. The controller receives the generic instruction and gathers information about the firmware system. Gathering information about the firmware system permits platform-specific firmware system functions to be written to the firmware system. The controller gathers information about the firmware system by accessing a data-gathering function based on the generic instruction. The controller retrieves the information through the data-gathering function and transfers the information to the interface.

Abstract: A method for providing a firmware developer user interface in a multi-nodal computer system comprises invoking a firmware developer user interface during boot of a multi-nodal computer system, dumping a process state for the boot to a console, handing-off flow control of the boot to the developer user interface and accepting at least one command to firmware of the multi-nodal computer system via the console and the developer user interface.

Abstract: A method for remote access to a firmware developer user interface in a multi-nodal computer system comprises registering a manageability subsystem with a server; booting the multi-nodal computer system; entering, by a truant cell of the multi-nodal computer system, into a remote developer user interface mode; writing, by the truant cell, a remote developer user interface initialization sequence to shared memory of the manageability subsystem; acknowledging, by a processor of the manageability subsystem, acceptance of the initialization upon the registering; sending an open session request to the server; and spawning an interactive developer user interface terminal session on the server.

Abstract: A method and system for injecting scanned data into rings located in different system devices comprises configuring a utility buffer from a specified scan path by combining one or more fields from a database having one or more fields, locking a specified ring on each devices specified on the desired scan path, allowing a desired value to be written concurrently into the same fields of the devices, and allowing the utility buffer to be written back to interposed status registers of the one ring in each of the devices to cause the data in the status registers to be scanned out for reading into the fields of the utility buffer.
