  • Method for managing sleep mode at a data storage device and system therefor
    Patent number: 11340796
    Abstract: A method includes issuing a suspend command to a data storage device at an information handling system. In response to receiving the suspend command, the data storage device generates a one-time password that is stored at the data storage device. The one-time password is provided to a process executing at the information handling system that stores the one-time password at a memory device at the information handling system. Operation of the data storage device is transitioned to an energy saving state.

  • System and method to run basic input/output system code from a non-volatile memory express device boot partition
    Patent number: 11340990
    Abstract: An information handling system may include an embedded controller, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) read-only memory (ROM) device to store a first basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware for the information handling system, and a non-volatile memory device includes a boot partition to store a second BIOS firmware. The embedded controller detects a failure during a boot process, switches a first SPI of a chipset from the SPI ROM to the embedded controller and executes the second BIOS firmware from the non-volatile memory device via a sideband access of the non-volatile memory device.
