Ask a BIOS Guy: "UEFI != GUI"

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiJan 18, 2011
Wow, I take the week of CES off and looks what happens … everybody is talking about UEFI. My Twitter account exploded with articles on UEFI from around the world (thank you Google Translate, since I can’t read French, German, Japanese, Chinese or Indonesian).   The big focus seems to be on the cool graphical interfaces companies like Asus and MSI are adding to UEFI on their desktop platforms. And I admit, they’re pretty cool … the BIOS setup menu has been pretty muc...Read More

Roving Reporter：通过多代IA处理器延长平台寿命

in 硬件
Posted by与非少年Nov 22, 2010
想要开发寿命长而且仍然能够升级到最新Intel ® Architecture（IA）技术的嵌入式设计团队应考虑COM（计算机模块）Express。我们最近讨论了COM Express如何允许设计团队开发 支持各种可选处理器的基础平台 。从事通信、医疗、军用和专用便捷式应用设计的设计团队也可使用COM Express来延长基础设计的寿命，同时支持最新处理器技术和系统级性能。RadiSys*正是以其CEQM57模块瞄准这些应用。 COM Express 与其他小机械结构标准的区别在于其目的在于向专用基础平台添加系统级计算机模块。大多数系统平台，如 EPIC（工业计算用嵌入式平台） 等，均采用相反的方案，即定义一个主板或母板，然后通过扩展连接器向上添加其他功能来支持当前应用。 从事通信或医疗应用设计的设计团队无法按照在PC行业内稀松平常的快速技术换代。这些设计的准备期明显较长，而且其中一些设计，如医疗应用设计等，必须经过漫长的监管批准。按照定义，设计团队必须设计一种能够在应用中服役多年的系统平台。 事实是许多嵌入式设计所服务的应用好长时间也没有多大变化。而且这些设计仍然能够受益...Read More

Roving Reporter: EPIC SBCs pack performance and video support

in Hardware
Posted byMaury_WrightAug 16, 2010
Embedded system engineers that contemplate a system design based on Intel® Architecture (IA) processors have a broad choice of both form factors and processor feature sets. The ever-increasing integration of more features on chip means that design teams can get the latest in processor technology in very small packages. Compact designs based on the latest Intel® QM57 Express Chipset can deliver advanced features such as video support for industrial-control applications or media-centric...Read More

Ask a BIOS Guy: TianoCore

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiJul 19, 2010
It turns out that when you start a blog called “Ask a BIOS Guy,” people actually ask the author questions about BIOS. Trust me, it’s an amazing revelation. This week I’m answering a question about the TianoCore project that “ ramsey ” posed after reading my “ Why UEFI ” article.   “I understand Intel has an opensource EFI/UEFI solution called Tianocore that ppl experimenting with EFI can flash onto their platform and allow for boot? Or ...Read More

Ask a BIOS Guy: "BIOS in the time of tablets"

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiJul 6, 2010
Tablet computers seem to be all the rage, making your boxy desktop computer look even less hip. But that doesn't mean the BIOS underneath your “standard PC” is going away. It’s still as important as ever.   Touchscreen and tablet computers have been around for years, but for some reason they’ve always been a hard sell. I have personally benefitted from this lack of adoption, recently buying a cast-off Panasonic Toughbook with a lovely 10" touch screen for a mere fif...Read More

Ask a BIOS Guy: "The Death of BIOS?"

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiJun 14, 2010
Ben Hardwidge at THINQ recently wrote an “exclusive” article stating that MSI’s upcoming shift to UEFI means “BIOS could soon be on its deathbed” . I appreciate the attention Ben’s article has brought to UEFI and BIOS. It’s just too bad that most of the article is … well … wrong.   If only there was someone you could talk to about BIOS … oh wait, there is. Hi, my name is Brian and I’ll be your blogger today.   The way...Read More

Ask a BIOS Guy: OS Portability

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiJun 1, 2010
The wonderful thing about being stuck on the tarmac for three hours on a flight with “unforeseen technical difficulties” is that you have a lot of time to catch up on your reading. So you can thank airline-related mechanical failure for this week’s article on the BIOS and OS portability.   Scanning a pile of unread links in Google Reader lead me to this Slashdot article – “ Installing Linux On ARM-Based Netbooks? ”  The anonymous submitter is asking...Read More

Ask a BIOS Guy: Debugging BIOS

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiMay 17, 2010
One of the reasons I started this blog is to take some of the mystery out of BIOS, which is often portrayed as arcane computing … some combination of technology and black magic. I think it’s valuable to take time in this forum to expose the type of tools available to the BIOS developer. Today’s article focuses on how an Independent BIOS Vendor (IBV) handles debugging BIOS issues.   The goal for any BIOS vendor is to deliver a product that doesn’t require extensive d...Read More

Ask a BIOS Guy: "Why UEFI"

in Intel Experts
Posted bybrian_amiMay 10, 2010
If you've looked at anything related to the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) in the past few months, you’ve seen the acronym “UEFI” a lot. Not only are the major BIOS vendors offering UEFI solutions, but Intel uses UEFI for embedded development  platforms and customer reference boards.   There’s piles of technical nonsense we can discuss here for firmware developers …  documented protocols, drivers that replace legacy Option ROMs, C programming int...Read More
