Example computing device that may be implemented to report application status via platform binary tables are disclosed. In response to an upgrade log detected during a BIOS initialization, a platform binary table to a management agent stored in a memory is generated. An application status corresponding with the upgrade log is collected during the BIOS initialization. In response to an operating system initialization, the management agent is launched from the platform binary table to report the application status via the management agent. The upgrade log is removed.

Application status reporting via platform binary tables

Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to backing up firmware. An operating system can be initialized. During the initialization process, memory can be set. The firmware can be backed up to storage based on the set memory.
