Problems solved by technology

[0004] As mentioned above, multiple programs are used in the entire boot program to handle a large number of complex detection and judgment operations. Therefore, the related boot programs in the entire boot program will use a specific size of file space according to their functions, and must also be stored in segments to different locations in the disk, making it necessary to spend a lot of time loading related programs, thus prolonging the time of the entire boot process
In addition, since the devices in the computer system must be detected during the boot process, and related judgments and initialization operations must be performed on the devices, it will also consume a lot of time.
For some computer systems that provide specific functions or services, such as embedded systems (Embedded System), it is very inefficient

Embodiment Construction

[0021] As mentioned above, the present invention provides novel systems and methods to solve the aforementioned problems of known boot management.

[0022] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a fast boot system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] The fast boot system 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for a processor-based electronic device 1100 , such as a computer system or an embedded system. The electronic device 1100 includes at least one BIOS 1110 and at least one hardware device, such as hardware 1 ( 1121 ), hardware 2 ( 1122 ), and hardware 3 ( 1123 ). The BIOS 1110 includes a buffer content table 1111 and a loading module 1112 . The register content table 1111 records the specific hardware in the electronic device and the corresponding initial setting value of the specific hardware. FIG. 2 shows an example of a buffer content table 1111 . As shown in FIG. 2, the initial setting values ​​"A", "B", and "C...

Abstract

First, the electronic device provides a content list in buffer, which records at least an initial setting value of a specific hardware. When starting up the electronic device, the loading module carried out initializing operation for the specific hardware based on initial setting value of the specific hardware in the content list without need of detecting a unit of the electronic device connected to at least a port.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to start-up management, in particular to a quick start-up method and system capable of quickly starting up electronic devices such as computer systems. Background technique [0002] With the development of information technology, electronic devices based on processors, such as computer systems, have been widely accepted and used by enterprises and individuals. For the boot process of a general computer system, when the computer system is powered on, the computer system will first perform a power-on self-test (POST) check. After that, load the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) in the computer system to determine the most basic hardware architecture of the computer system, such as clock and hard disk information, and perform necessary initialization operations. Next, execute the boot loader (Boot Loader) in the Master Boot Record (MBR), and load the core program of the operating system according to the record. [0003] When...
