Booting method and electronic device

摘要

A booting method is provided. In the booting method, a basic input/output system (BIOS) is activated to check a first set value. When the first set value corresponds to a fast boot mode, the BIOS performs a fast boot process, in which the fast boot process is interrupted when the BIOS receives a system control interrupt. The BIOS changes a second set value and the first set value according to the system control interrupt, so that the first set value corresponds to a normal boot process. Next, the BIOS is reactivated. Further, the BIOS performs a normal boot process when the first set value corresponds to the normal boot mode, in which the BIOS checks the second set value, so as to execute an operating process corresponding to the second set value and recover the second set value and the first set value.

1. A booting method for an electronic device having an embedded controller, the method comprising:
activating a basic input/output system; checking a first set value by the basic input/output system; performing a fast boot process by the basic input/output system when the first set value corresponds to a fast boot mode, wherein: the fast boot process is interrupted when the basic input/output system receives a system control interrupt from the embedded controller and before the fast boot process is performed; the basic input/output system changes a second set value and the first set value according to the system control interrupt, so that the first set value corresponds to a normal boot mode; the basic input/output system is reactivated; performing a normal boot process by the basic input/output system when the first set value corresponds to the normal boot mode, wherein: the basic input/output system checks the second set value; an operating process corresponding to the second set value is executed; and the basic input/output system recovers the second set value to an initial value while changing the first set value, so that the first set value corresponds to the fast boot mode.
