ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for making PEI phase implementation independent from DXE phase implementation in a computer system implementing the Extensible Firmware Interface standard. For example, one embodiment of the present invention uses a hand-off block to make SMBASE initialization in PEI independent form SMBASE initialization in DXE. In another embodiment of the present invention, PEI phase is entered in order to resume from an S3 standby state.
