Benefits of technology

[0013]According to an aspect of the present invention an embodiment of the invention may provide a method for building firmware components with the use of a build utility program that scans parent directories

Problems solved by technology

Modernly, the use of PCs (personal computers), including so-called laptop and notebook computers, is increasingly common and the computers themselves are ever more powerful and complex.
A persistent problem is the management of needed changes and enhancements to firmwares as new versions of hardware and entirely new hardware subsystems are phased in—while simultaneously avoiding excessive duplication of effort across families of related,

Abstract

Methods, systems, apparatuses and program products are disclosed for providing parametric driven build of Unified Extensible Firmware Interface based Personal Computer firmware, typically but not essentially as BIOS.
Provision is made for source databases providing for multiple configurations, variants, revisions and levels of capabilities including on non-hierarchical bases.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional application for a patent No. 61 / 268,562 entitled INNOVATIONS IN SECURECORE TIANO 2.0 filed Jun. 13, 2009 inventor Stephen E. Jones and which is incorporated in its entirety by this reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to personal computers and devices sharing similar architectures and, more particularly relates to a system and corresponding or related method for parametric driven build of Unified Extensible Firmware Interface based Personal Computer firmware. Similar processes and entities within comparable computing apparatuses also fall within the general scope of the invention.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Modernly, the use of PCs (personal computers), including so-called laptop and notebook computers, is increasingly common and the computers themselves are ever more powerful and complex. Hardware development continues at great rates resulting in families of ...
