Abstract:
During a power-on self-test (POST), a basic input/output system (BIOS) retrieves an attribute value associated with the persistent memory device, and compares the attribute value to a default value. In response to the attribute value matching the default value, the BIOS may determine that a firmware management protocol was not executed during a previous POST. In response to the attribute value not matching the default value, the BIOS may compare the attribute value to a current firmware version of firmware within the persistent memory device.
