Abstract

A computer system is provided for storing CMOS configuration information in FLASH and for retrieving a copy of the CMOS configuration information stored in FLASH into a CMOS RAM memory. The computer system includes a processor, a computer readable CMOS RAM memory device coupled to the processor, the CMOS RAM devices having system configuration information programmed therein. The computer system further includes a computer readable RAM memory device coupled to the processor, a computer readable non-volatile memory device coupled to the processor, the non-volatile memory having a first block of memory including CMOS RAM configuration information programmed therein. The computer system further includes: means for reading the content of the non-volatile memory device, the means for reading being coupled to the processor; means for erasing a specified block of the non-volatile memory device, the means for erasing being coupled to the processor; and means for writing the CMOS RAM configuration information in the non-volatile memory, the means for writing being coupled to the processor.
