  • LINKING EMBEDDED CONTROLLER WITH MEMORY REFERENCE CODE AND SYSTEM BIOS SHADOWING
    Publication number: 20220350705
    Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor, a memory, and an embedded controller (EC). The information handling system may be configured to, prior to initialization of an operating system of the information handling system: execute memory reference code configured to test selected regions of the memory; transmit results of the memory reference code to the EC; store, at the EC, information indicative of respective likelihoods that particular regions of the memory are bad; and upon a subsequent boot, select a region of the memory having a low likelihood of being bad for loading a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the information handling system.
    Type: Application

  • Systems and methods for creating and/or modifying memory configuration settings
    Patent number: 10782900
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and/or modifying memory configuration settings (e.g., such as memory timing and memory drive voltage) for use at selected and/or varying memory temperature/s. The disclosed systems and methods may be implemented to create a relationship between optimized memory configuration settings for different memory temperatures during burn-in testing and/or on an ad-hoc basis.
