Collaborative Roles in Quick Boot
Every sin is the result of a collaboration.
—Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Collaboration between hardware, firmware, and software is vital to achieve a fast boot experience on the system. If the hardware chosen is incapable of achieving a sub-second initialization time, or if the software is not optimized to take advantage of a Fast Boot time, then the investment spent in firmware optimization with either custom activity or implementing a systematic Fast Boot architecture is wasted. Below are several examples of ways and techniques that can improve the boot times through picking the right device, optimizing the way that device is initialized, or doing the minimum for a future driver to take full advantage ...
