ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments are provided for authenticating an embedded device on a motherboard. An exemplary embodiment includes generating a unique authentication code (UAC) based on a serial number for a motherboard, and providing the UAC to a computer system having the motherboard. A determination is then made as to whether the provided UAC is correct for the motherboard, and an option ROM BIOS designed for the embedded device is executed when the provided UAC is correct for the motherboard.
