Michael Krau Intel SSG Hillsboro, OR Pre-boot Evolution: From Old Boot Strap to UEFI The purpose of this presentation is to approach the Pre-OS boot environment as a specialized function of code, execution time, and operational parameters of a computer system. The Pre-boot environment is often considered a component of the hardware by software engineering and a component of the software by the hardware community. In reality, it is the final bridge between the static real world hardware environment and the dynamic and virtual world of the operating system and applications. The following topics will be discussed : * The History of the Pre-boot environment (including BIOS - the early OS carry over of Pre-boot) * How hardware architecture and design impacts the boot process * The evolution from boot Rom to BIOS to UEFI (a new technology in pre-OS boot): * The future directions of Pre-boot in the PC and embedded industries (in conjunction with new technologies and UEFI) Biography Michael has over 25 years of embedded software, BIOS, and driver development experience. His education includes a Bachelors and Masters of Science in Computer Science. His current credentials include: Current Chair of the Industry Communications Working Group of the UEFI and the Marketing Administrator of the EFI and Framework Open Source Community Website (at www.tianocore.org). While in the past, Michael has been the Chair of the I2O LAN Working group, adjunct faculty at the University of Virginia, a contributor to the EISA Specification, and inventor/co-inventor on 13 patents. Currently Michael is a Product Marketing Engineer with Intel SSG, where he is a champion for UEFI.
