SECURE BOOT USING PARALLELIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240220626 titled 'SECURE BOOT USING PARALLELIZATION
The abstract of the patent application describes an apparatus that includes a basic input/output system (BIOS) with a boot read-only memory (boot-ROM) to load a first stage boot loader (FSBL) into a random access memory (RAM). The processor in the apparatus has at least a first processing core and a second processing core. The first processing core initializes a first set of system drivers, activates the second processing core, and the second processing core loads a second stage boot loader and one or more operating system images into a main system memory.
- The apparatus includes a BIOS with a boot-ROM to load an FSBL into RAM.
- The processor has at least two processing cores, with the first core initializing system drivers and activating the second core.
- The second core loads a second stage boot loader and operating system images into the main system memory.
Potential Applications: - Embedded systems - Server systems - Industrial automation
Problems Solved: - Efficient booting process - System initialization and activation - Loading of operating system images
Benefits: - Faster system boot-up - Improved system performance - Simplified system initialization process
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Booting System for Embedded Devices This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications for faster and more efficient system boot-up processes, leading to improved overall performance and reliability.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus improve the booting process for embedded systems? - The apparatus streamlines the booting process by utilizing a two-stage loading mechanism, enhancing efficiency and speed. 2. What are the potential benefits of having multiple processing cores in the processor? - Having multiple processing cores allows for parallel processing, leading to faster system initialization and improved overall performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus includes a basic input/output system (bios) comprising a boot read-only memory (boot-rom) to load a first stage boot loader (fsbl) into a random access memory (ram), a processor comprising at least a first processing core and a second processing core, the processor to initialize, in the first processing core, a first set of system drivers, activate, the second processing core, and load, in the second processing core, a second stage boot loader and one or more operating system images into a main system memory.
