Abstract

Briefly, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus and method to store initialization and configuration information is provided. The method may include storing basic input / output system (BIOS) software in a polymer memory. The method may further include copying a first portion of the BIOS software from the polymer memory to a random access memory (RAM) buffer of a memory controller, wherein the RAM buffer has a storage capacity of at least about two kilobytes (KB).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for storing initialization and configuration information. Background technique [0002] In some computing systems, basic input / output system (BIOS) software may be stored in fast electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM). Flash memory is a relatively expensive form of memory, and because of this, the amount of memory available to BIOS software is usually relatively small. Therefore, due to space constraints, some existing BIOS software may be limited in its features and functions. [0003] Thus, there is always a need for alternative ways to store BIOS software in computing systems. Contents of the invention [0004] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems. [0005] According to a method of the present invention, it includes: storing basic input / output system BIOS software in a polymer memory, wherein the polymer memory is coupled to a memory controller through a memory ...
