    Abstract: In an example implementation according to aspects of the present disclosure, a method may include receiving by a controller a BIOS image, extracting a current manufacturing programming mode state corresponding to a computer system. A BIOS personality of the BIOS image is evaluated, wherein the BIOS personality is based on a differentiation of hardware and software functionality. Based on the current manufacturing programming state and the BIOS personality, a compatibility with the computer system is determined. Based on the compatibility, the BIOS image is written to non-volatile memory.

    Abstract: An example device comprises a plurality of components and a BIOS includes a non-volatile memory having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor of the device to cause the BIOS to determine a component identification (ID) of a component of the plurality of components, and fetch a plurality of recall component IDs. The instructions also are to cause the BIOS to compare the determined component ID with the plurality of recall component IDs. In response to a correspondence between the determined component ID and one recall component ID of the plurality of component IDs, the BIOS is to transmit signals representing a prompt to place the component of the plurality of components in a safety mode. The instructions also cause the BIOS to receive signals in response to the prompt and, responsive to the received signals, disable the component of the plurality of components.

    Abstract: The update progress of a basic input/output system (BIOS) is displayed on a display screen. A first chipset lock is applied to a first region of a shared serial peripheral interface (SPI) chip of the BIOS of a computer system containing a first program of instructions. A system management memory mode lock is applied to a second and a third region of the shared SPI chip containing a second and third programs of instructions respectively. The second program of instructions is updated, and control of the BIOS is transferred to the updated second program of instructions. The updated second program of instructions updates the first program of instructions. The BIOS update progress visual is displayed on the display screen of the computer system while updating the first program of instructions.
