Abstract

See full text

A system and method is presented for defining power-up sequences and menus through a macro file. The macro file is compiled into a data construct that is stored on a computing device. On the powering up of the computing device, a first algorithm reads and executes a series of diagnostic tests from the stored data construct. On the failure of a critical diagnostic test, a second algorithm reads and presents a menu structure found in the stored data construct. The data construct can be recompiled and re-stored on the computing device so as to alter the power-up sequence and the menu structure without altering the first or second algorithm.
