Caching unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) and/or other firmware instructions in a non-volatile memory of an information handling system (IHS)

摘要

Systems and methods for caching firmware instructions in a non-volatile memory of an information handling system (IHS). In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an IHS may include a processor, a non-volatile memory coupled to the processor, and a unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) chipset coupled to the processor. The processor may be configured to: copy instructions stored in the UEFI chipset to the non-volatile memory prior to a reboot or restart of the HIS, and, at least in part in response to the reboot or restart operation, load at least a subset of the instructions directly from the non-volatile memory rather than from the UEFI chipset as part of a fast boot mode of operation.
