PLATFORM NON-VOLATILE STORE MANAGEMENT AND PLATFORM CONFIGURATION

摘要

Technologies for providing services to a non-volatile store include a computing device having a non-volatile store policy that defines a minimum amount of reserved space in the non-volatile store. The mobile computing device receives a call for services to the non-volatile store, determines useable free space in the non-volatile store based on the non-volatile store policy, and responds to the call for services based on the useable free space. Technologies for platform configuration include a computing device having a firmware environment and an operating system. The firmware environment determines information on configuration settings inaccessible to the operating system and exports the information to the operating system. The operating system determines a new configuration setting based on the exported information, and may configure the computing device at runtime. The operating system may securely pass a configuration directive to the firmware environment for configuration during boot. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
