Configuring a device for operation on a computing platform

An apparatus comprising:

• a device responsive to an agent that initializes the device following a power cycle, the initialization to include the agent implementing one or more command sequences to configure the device for operation on a computing platform, the device to include logic to:
• record the one or more implemented command sequences;
• assert a configuration flag to indicate the device has been configured for operation on the computing platform, the configuration flag included in a command configuration register;
• and
• store the one or more implemented command sequences and the command configuration register, wherein at least a portion of the one or more implemented command sequences and the command configuration register are stored in a persistent memory that includes non-volatile memory resident on the device.

A system comprising:

• an operating system for a computing platform, the operating system to include a driver;
• and
• a device responsive to the driver, the driver to initialize the device following a power cycle, the initialization to include the driver implementing one or more command sequences to configure the device for operation on the computing platform, the device to include logic to:
• record the one or more implemented command sequences;
• assert a configuration flag to indicate the device has been configured for operation on the computing platform, the configuration flag included in a command configuration register;
• and
• store the one or more implemented command sequences and the command configuration register, wherein at least a portion of the one or more implemented command sequences and the command configuration register are stored in a persistent memory that includes non-volatile memory resident on the device.

A machine-accessible medium comprising content, which, when executed by a machine causes the machine to:

• initialize a device following a power cycle, the initialization to include an agent for the device implementing one or more command sequences to configure the device for operation on a computing platform;
• record the one or more implemented command sequences;
• assert a configuration flag to indicate the device has been configured for operation on the computing platform, the configuration flag included in a command configuration register;
• and
• store the recorded one or more implemented command sequences and the command configuration register, wherein at least a portion of the one or more implemented command sequences and the command configuration register are stored in a persistent memory that includes non-volatile memory resident on the device.
