Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  Y | IPC G

Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions that upon execution cause a microcontroller of a computing system to:
validate thermal policy custom data stored in a firmware storage medium of the computing system, in response to a supply of power to the computing system; and
update thermal control settings of the computing system with a customized thermal policy included in the thermal policy custom data, in response to successful validation the thermal policy custom data;
wherein the computer-readable instructions, upon execution, cause a processor of the computing system to:
initiate a boot operation of the computing system based on one of a user input and a wake up signal;
validate a power policy custom data during a Pre-EFI Initialization (PEI) phase of the boot operation; and
update power control settings of the computing system with a corresponding customized power policy associated with each of the PEI phase and a Driver Execution Environment (DXE) phase of the boot operation, in response to successful validation of the power policy custom data during the PEI phase, wherein the corresponding customized power policy is included in the power policy custom data.
