x86 Early Kernel Boot Process with Microcode, ACPI Overrides, and Initrd
ment of our x86 Platforms series, following Part 2: UEFI Bootloader Management and Integration with Yocto, we’re going to explore the early kernel boot process in more depth. Specifically, we’ll cover how x86 systems handle microcode updates, ACPI table overrides, and the initrd (initial RAM disk).
In this third installment of our x86 Platforms series, following Part 2: UEFI Bootloader Management and Integration with Yocto, we’re going to explore the early kernel boot process in more depth. This recipe automatically generates and deploys the microcode cpio archive as part of the Yocto build process, saving developers time and ensuring consistency. By ensuring that microcode updates, ACPI table overrides, and the initrd are correctly packaged and applied, you can create a highly reliable and efficient boot process.
