Patent abstract
Examples described herein provide a central processing unit (CPU) to reserve a region of memory for use to store both a boot firmware code and a second boot firmware code and to perform the second boot firmware code without reboot. The reserved region of memory can be a region that is not configured for access by an operating system (OS). The reserved region of memory comprises System Management Random Access Memory (SMRAM). If a first interrupt handler is not overwritten after a second boot firmware code is stored, the CPU can roll back to use of the first interrupt handler.
