Work cat.: Dice, P. Quick boot, 2018:ECIP galley (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 the platform ready for the operating system)

TechTerms web site, viewed Dec. 28, 2017(BIOS: Stands for "Basic Input/Output System," a program pre-installed on Windows-based computers (not on Macs) that the computer uses to start up. The CPU accesses the BIOS even before the operating system is loaded; BIOS then checks hardware connections and locates devices; then BIOS loads the operating system into the computer's memory and finishes the boot-up process. The BIOS also is used after the computer has booted up; acting as an intermediary between the CPU and the I/O (input/output) devices)
