Abstract
A system, method, and computer readable medium for an operating system (OS) mediated launch of an OS dependent application is disclosed. An application running within an OS may operate outside an OS environment by constructing for example a capsule file, passing the capsule file to firmware interface, and restarting the system. The firmware interface may load various drivers and applications contained within the capsule file and execute them to perform a task. Upon completion of the task, the OS is booted again and the original application may resume control, making use of any information stored by the firmware interface in a dedicated status table or file. Other embodiments may be employed, and other embodiments are described and claimed.
