    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to flexible bootstrap code architecture. A device may comprise equipment for operating the device and an operating system (OS) for operating the equipment. A boot module may also be included in the device to execute boot operations. At least one flexible boot (FB) module in the boot module may interact with the equipment and/or OS during the boot operations to cause the boot operations to become device-specific. An example boot module may comprise a plurality of FB modules. An example FB module may verify a device/chipset identification and may control the boot operations based on the identification. Other example FB modules may select resources to load based on an OS type, may provide a boot configuration table location for use in OS runtime boot configuration or may load variables from a preload variable directory for use in configuring boot operations.

    Abstract: Technologies for securely booting a computing device includes a security engine of the computing device that consecutively determines a hash value for each block of initial boot firmware and generates an aggregated hash value from the hash value determined for each of the blocks. A processor of the computing device determines whether the aggregated hash value matches a reference checksum value. Initialization of the processor is completed in response to a determination that the aggregated hash value matches the reference checksum value. In some embodiments, the security engine consecutively retrieves each block of the initial boot firmware from a memory of the computing device, stores each retrieved block in a secure memory of the security engine, and determines the hash value for each stored block. Each block stored in the secure memory is copied to a portion of a cache memory of the processor initialized as Cache as RAM.
