METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LINKING FIRMWARE MODULES IN A PRE-MEMORY EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A BIOS includes a core and multiple modules. The modules include both those that are platform specific and those that are not platform specific. Each module has a standard interface that allows the core (or other module) to call the module. A platform vendor constructs a BIOS by selecting modules from one or more vendors, which when executed can select modules that are suitable for the platform the BIOS resides in.
