Quick Boot describes the basic initialization sequence that allows developers the freedom to boot an OS without a fully featured system BIOS. The goal is to make it easy for a designer new to Intel architecture to understand and optimize the firmware for their design, and ease the learning curve to develop and debug the code that gets system ready for the operating system.

"After using the information and techniques in the book I was able to reduce boot time from 7-8 seconds to less than 500 msecs."

Randy Close, Member of Technical Staff, Wind River Systems

"This book presents an insight into the life and times of firmware developers for Intel Architecture based products. As a 20+ year veteran of firmware development, I found it a good overview of the firmware development process."

John MacInnis, Firmware Product Manager, Cisco

"Quick Boot is required reading for firmware engineers new to Intel architecture, and highly recommended for everyone who works in the pre-OS environment."

Anders Amundson, Senior Consultant and Firmware Instructor, Techstream Inc.
