First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a non-volatile memory to store content corresponding to a capsule; and
a processor to;
detect a capsule update request;
store the content corresponding to the capsule in the memory;
construct a capsule descriptor comprising a list of one or more physical locations of the content corresponding to the capsule stored on the non-volatile memory; and
generate a signal to cause a volatile memory destructive reset.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to a hardware and file system agnostic mechanism for achieving capsule support are described. In one embodiment, content associate with a capsule are stored in a non-volatile memory prior to a cold reset. A capsule descriptor may also be constructed, prior to the reset, which includes information about the physical location of the capsule content on the non-volatile memory. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
