Abstract

See full text

Technologies for pre-memory phase initialization include a computing device having a processor with a cache memory. The computing device may determine whether a temporary memory different from the cache memory of the processor is present for temporary memory access prior to initialization of a main memory of the computing device. In response to determining that temporary memory is present, a portion of the basic input/output instructions may be copied from a non-volatile memory of the computing device to the temporary memory for execution prior to initialization of the main memory. The computing device may also initialize a portion of the cache memory of the processor as Cache as RAM for temporary memory access prior to initialization of the main memory in response to determining that temporary memory is not present. After initialization, the main memory may be configured for subsequent memory access. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
