ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide for notification of power-on self-test (POST) data using an output device that is externally connected to a target computer system undergoing the POST via a data cable. Embodiments include a data transport module having an interface for receiving POST data from a debug module within the firmware of the target computer system and a notification application executed on the output device. The POST data transport module receives POST data and writes it to one or more hardware registers associated with an external port of the target computer system. The POST data is transferred to the data cable from the hardware registers and is received from the cable by the notification application of the output device. The notification application generates a notification corresponding to the received POST data and displays the notification on a display of the output device.
