System and method of utilizing platform applications with information handling systems

A method, comprising:

• executing, by at least one processor of an information handling system (IHS), at least a portion of IHS firmware (IHSFW) from a first non-volatile memory medium of the IHS;
• retrieving, from the first non-volatile memory medium, a first IHS initialization executable of a first IHS initialization executable/operating system (OS) executable pair;
• executing, by the at least one processor, the first IHS initialization executable via an environment associated with the IHSFW;
• registering, by the first IHS initialization executable, a subroutine configured to store a plurality of addresses of a volatile memory medium of the IHS;
• copying, by the first IHS initialization executable, a first OS executable of the first IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair from the first non-volatile memory medium to the volatile memory medium;
• for each IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair of a plurality of IHS initialization executable/OS executable pairs:
• retrieving, from the first non-volatile memory medium, an IHS initialization executable of the IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair;
• executing, by the at least one processor, the IHS initialization executable via the environment associated with the IHSFW;
• copying, by the IHS initialization executable, an OS executable of the IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair from the first non-volatile memory medium to the volatile memory medium;
• calling, by the IHS initialization executable, the subroutine;
• storing, by the subroutine, an address associated with the OS executable via a data structure stored by the volatile memory medium;
• retrieving, by the first OS executable, the address of the volatile memory medium associated with the OS executable from the data structure;
• and
• copying, by the first OS executable, the OS executable from the volatile memory medium to a second non-volatile memory medium of the IHS based at least on the address of the volatile memory medium associated with the OS executable;
• and
• executing, by the at least one processor, each OS executable of the plurality of IHS initialization executable/OS executable pairs via an OS context of an operating system.

A computer-readable non-transitory memory medium that includes instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an information handling system, cause the information handling system (IHS) to:

• execute, by the at least one processor, at least a portion of IHS firmware (IHSFW) from a first non-volatile memory medium of the IHS;
• retrieve, from the first non-volatile memory medium, a first IHS initialization executable of a first IHS initialization executable/operating system (OS) executable pair;
• execute, by the at least one processor, the first IHS initialization executable via an environment associated with the IHSFW;
• register, by the first IHS initialization executable, a subroutine configured to store a plurality of addresses of a volatile memory medium of the IHS;
• copy, by the first IHS initialization executable, a first OS executable of the first IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair from the first non-volatile memory medium to the volatile memory medium;
• for each IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair of a plurality of IHS initialization executable/OS executable pairs:
• retrieve, from the first non-volatile memory medium, an IHS initialization executable of the IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair;
• execute, by the at least one processor, the IHS initialization executable via the environment associated with the IHSFW;
• copy, by the IHS initialization executable, an OS executable of the IHS initialization executable/OS executable pair from the first non-volatile memory medium to the volatile memory medium;
• call, by the IHS initialization executable, the subroutine;
• store, by the subroutine, an address associated with the OS executable via a data structure stored by the volatile memory medium;
• retrieve, by the first OS executable, the address of the volatile memory medium associated with the OS executable from the data structure;
• and
• copy, by the first OS executable, the OS executable from the volatile memory medium to a second non-volatile memory medium of the IHS based at least on the address of the volatile memory medium associated with the OS executable;
• and
• execute, by the at least one processor, each OS executable of the plurality of IHS initialization executable/OS executable pairs via an OS context of an operating system.
