Abstract
An apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium for reconfiguring a support package for initializing firmware. The apparatus comprises memory, machine-readable instructions, and processor circuitry configured to execute the machine-readable instructions to intercept a write operation to a register of the processor circuitry requesting a configuration profile for the support package. The apparatus further selects an applet for the support package corresponding to the requested configuration profile, reconfigures the support package with the selected applet, and initializes firmware based on the reconfigured support package.
