Abstract
A method which includes initializing a device following a power cycle. The initialization includes an agent for the device implementing one or more command sequences to configure the device for operation on a computing platform. The one or more implemented command sequences are recorded and a configuration flag is asserted to indicate the device has been configured for operation on the computing platform. The configuration flag is included in a command configuration register. At least a portion of the recorded one or more command sequences and the command configuration register are stored in a persistent memory that includes non-volatile memory resident on the device. Based on an other power cycle, the device is to access the command configuration register. Based on the command configuration register, the device is to determine whether it is to configure itself by implementing the one or more stored command sequences. The device then configures itself based on that determination. Other implementations and examples are described in this disclosure.
