Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a current basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware image. During a regular boot mode of the information handling, the processor creates a first set of tables associated with the current BIOS firmware image, stores the first tables to the memory, and receives a BIOS firmware update image. During a BIOS update boot mode of the information handling system, the processor creates a second plurality of tables associated with the BIOS firmware update image, and compares the first and second tables. In response to a difference being determined between the first and second tables, the processor aborts the BIOS update boot mode and generate an error log.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a firmware update method having firmware update troubleshooting mechanism. Partial data included in firmware data is used as test data to perform a test process to write the test data to a firmware storage terminal by using a control interface of a processing terminal according to the setting of access parameters, read the written test data from the firmware storage terminal through the control interface and compare the written test data and the test data to generate a comparison result. A parameter adjustment process is performed when the comparison result indicates a mismatching condition such that the test process is performed again and the parameter adjustment process is further performed. When the comparison result indicates a matching condition, the firmware data is transmitted to the processing terminal and is written to the firmware storage terminal by using the control interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an oscillator apparatus comprising a differential transmission line forming a closed loop, a plurality of active core components that are electrically connected to the differential transmission line and that are configured to compensate for loss in the differential transmission line, a plurality of tuning elements that are electrically coupled with the differential transmission line, and a processor configured to control each tuning element of the plurality of tuning elements to activate or deactivate such that an effective electrical length of the differential transmission line is changed.
