    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a power circuit to transmit standby power to a device, a memory associated with the device to maintain first configuration data and second configuration data and a battery to provide backup power to the device. The device may, following a loss and a recovery of the standby power to the device, determine whether the backup power was lost during the loss of the standby power. The device may also, based on a determination that the backup power was lost during the loss of the standby power, read the first configuration data or may, based on a determination that the backup power was not lost during the loss of the standby power, read the second configuration data. The device may further apply the read one of the first configuration data or the second configuration data to configure the device.

    Abstract: In some examples, in response to a computing device powering on, a protected memory area inaccessible to an operating system is created, where the protected memory area includes information relating to instructions and an indication settable to a first value to indicate that the instructions are allowed to access a memory external of the protected memory area, and a second value to indicate that the instructions are not allowed to access the memory external of the protected memory area. In response to creating the protected memory area, the indication is modified from the first value to the second value to restrict the instructions when executed from accessing the memory external of the protected memory area. In response to modifying the indication, code in the computing device is launched, the launched code comprising the operating system or firmware.

    Abstract translation: 在一些示例中,响应于上电的计算设备,创建操作系统不可访问的受保护的存储器区域,其中受保护的存储器区域包括与指令有关的信息以及可设置为第一值的指示,以指示允许指令 以访问受保护存储器区域的外部存储器,以及第二值,以指示不允许指令访问受保护存储器区域的外部存储器。 响应于创建受保护的存储器区域,指示从第一值修改为第二值,以在执行时限制指令访问受保护存储器区域的外部存储器。 响应于修改指示,启动计算设备中的代码,启动的代码包括操作系统或固件。
