Abstract
Methods and apparatus to enable console redirection in a multiple execution environment are disclosed. In an example method, at least one periodic interrupt in a first basic input/output system (BIOS) execution environment of a local console is initiated. Data associated with a second BIOS execution environment of the local console is retrieved. The data associated with the second BIOS execution environment is communicated to a remote terminal.
Claims30
A method to enable console redirection in a multiple execution environment comprising:
- initiating at least one periodic interrupt in a first basic input/output system (BIOS) execution environment of a local console;
- retrieving data associated with a second BIOS execution environment of the local console that is different than the first BIOS execution environment;
- and
- communicating the data associated with the second BIOS execution environment to a remote console.
A machine readable medium storing instructions, which when executed, cause a machine to:
- initiate at least one periodic interrupt in a first basic input/output system (BIOS) execution environment of a local console;
- retrieve data associated with a second BIOS execution environment of the local console that is different than the first BIOS execution environment;
- and
- communicate the data associated with the second BIOS execution environment to a remote terminal.
An apparatus to perform console redirection in a multiple execution environment comprising:
- an interface circuit configured to provide a communication link;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the interface circuit, the processor being programmed to initiate at least one periodic interrupt in a first basic input/output system (BIOS) code environment of a local console, to retrieve data associated with a second BIOS code environment of the local console that is different than the first BIOS execution environment, and to communicate the data associated with the second BIOS code environment to a remote terminal via the communication link.
A processor system to enable console redirection in a multiple execution environment comprising:
- a communication interface configured to provide a communication link;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the communication interface, the processor being programmed to initiate at least one periodic interrupt in a first basic input/output system (BIOS) execution environment of a local console, to retrieve data associated with a second BIOS execution environment of the local console that is different than the first BIOS execution environment, and to communicate the data associated with the second BIOS execution environment to a remote terminal via the communication link.
