Abstract
Disclosed systems and methods perform firmware transformation operations to transform legacy firmware to USF firmware. Legacy firmware information, corresponding to legacy firmware suitable for an information handling system, is retrieved or otherwise accessed and based on the legacy firmware information, one or more firmware complexities of the legacy firmware are determined. A USF transformation protocol is invoked to identify the firmware complexities in the legacy firmware and generate USF firmware that complies with a USF specification and resolves at least some of the complexities in the legacy firmware. An image of the USF firmware is stored in nonvolatile storage of the information handling system. Embodiments include a simplified ACPI interface with split architecture support and a silicon-agnostic embedded abstraction module to achieve USF compatibility across various heterogeneous boot loaders.
