摘要： Various embodiments are directed to a tri-layered power scheme for architectures which contain a microcontroller. In one embodiment, a power management system may comprise a microcontroller in a chipset, a low consumption power well to control a power supply to the microcontroller, and a power controller to control a power supply to the low consumption power well. The power management system may be arranged to switch among multiple power consumption states. In a maximum power consumption state, the microcontroller is on, the power controller is on, and the low consumption power well is on. In an intermediate power consumption state, the microcontroller is off, the power controller is on, and the low consumption power well is required to be on. In a minimum power consumption state, the microcontroller is off, the power controller is on, and the low consumption power well is optionally on or off at the discretion of the power controller. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： In general, in one aspect, the disclosure describes an apparatus that includes updatable non-volatile memory to store firmware and non-updateable non-volatile memory to store an interrupt sequence. The apparatus includes a chip interface to receive an interrupt instruction from management firmware. Receipt of the interrupt instruction controls access to and initiation of the interrupt sequence. After initiation of the interrupt sequence the apparatus may receive a firmware update and/or validate the firmware is from a valid source. The validation of the firmware may include utilizing the management firmware to verify the cryptographic signature for the firmware.
