Abstract
In some embodiments, the invention involves system and method for resuming from sleep mode using protected storage accessible to an embedded controller. The boot script information is stored in memory that is available only to the embedded controller. Neither the firmware nor OS have access to the boot script. Upon a wake event, the embedded controller either plays the boot script itself, or sends the information to firmware for processing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
