Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve boot efficiency. An example apparatus includes a firmware support package (FSP) configuration engine to retrieve an FSP reset (FSP-R) component from a platform memory, a firmware interface table (FIT) manager to assign an entry to a FIT for the FSP-R component and assign respective entries to the FIT for auxiliary FSP components, and an FSP configuration engine to transfer platform control to the FSP-R component to control execution of the auxiliary FSP components in response to a platform reset vector.
