UEFITool is a software program for reading and modifying EEPROM images with UEFI firmware. [1] It is written in C++ using the Qt library. [2] Features include the ability to view the flash regions and to extract and import them. [3] UEFITool allows the user to search for hex and text patterns. [4] UEFITool presents UEFI firmware images in a ...
On the Windows platform, many programs designed to monitor and report S.M.A.R.T. information will function only under an administrator account. BIOS and Windows ( Windows Vista and later) may detect S.M.A.R.T. status of hard disk drives and solid state drives, and give a prompt if the S.M.A.R.T. status is bad.
UEFI applications can be developed and installed independently of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). A type of UEFI application is an OS boot loader such as GRUB, rEFInd, Gummiboot, and Windows Boot Manager, which loads some OS files into memory and executes them. Also, an OS boot loader can provide a user interface to allow the ...

The AMIDiag suite was introduced in 1991 and made available for MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows and UEFI platforms. [13] It includes both the Windows and DOS PC diagnostics programs. Later versions of AMIDiag support UEFI, which allows diagnostics to be performed directly on the hardware components, without having to use operating system drivers or ...
A diagnostic program (also known as a test mode) is an automatic computer program sequence that determines the operational status within the software, hardware, or any combination thereof in a component, a system, or a network of systems.
HWiNFO (also known as HWiNFO64 [1]) is a system monitoring, system profiling and system diagnostics program for Windows and DOS-based systems. [ 2 ] It is developed by Martin Malik and REALiX. It was used by NASA during several tests of different microprocessors, including an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 and Intel i5-6600K .
Using a standardized interface and protocol allows systems-management software based on IPMI to manage multiple, disparate servers. As a message-based, hardware-level interface specification, IPMI operates independently of the operating system (OS) to allow administrators to manage a system remotely in the absence of an operating system or of the system management software.
