摘要:
A method for verifying refreshed BIOS content includes the following steps. A virtual machine (VM) is established in a computer waiting for a system BIOS update by the use of a paravirtualization technique. The VM is booted. A new BIOS file content is copied to an address space in a designated range of a memory of a computer host. The computer host is booted with the content of the new BIOS file, and the paravirtual operating system runs on the same hardware platform of the computer host. And, whether the virtual operating system adopting the new BIOS file content runs normally or not is verified to confirm the correctness and safety of the content of the new BIOS file.
