Latest Patents
One of Lechong Chen's latest patents is titled "Method and apparatus to support booting despite deficient resources." This invention provides a method and related apparatuses that enable a processing system to boot even when system resources are limited. The processing system includes multiple devices in a peripheral connect interface (PCI) subsystem, along with instructions encoded in a machine-accessible medium. These instructions, when executed during the boot process, assess the availability of resources for the devices. They also retrieve boot information from an extended firmware interface (EFI) environment and automatically identify critical devices for booting. If resources are insufficient, the system allocates resources to boot-critical devices while rejecting others.
Another notable patent is the "Manageability extension mechanism for system firmware." This invention describes a method and system for managing an extension mechanism for firmware. A firmware binary file is stored in an extension area of a computer system's storage device. The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is modified to access this stored firmware binary file. In one embodiment, the computer system complies with the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) standard.
