Abstract
A method and system for remote configuration of a computing device includes generating initialization code configured to initialize a memory and/or processor of the computing device dependent on initialization data. The initialization data is generated based on platform data, which is validate based on predetermined criteria. The platform data identifies platform-specific parameters and may be received over a network from a platform manufacturer. In response to validation of the platform data, the initialization data is generated and transmitted to the platform manufacturer for incorporation into the computing device. Upon a processor reset, the initialization code is configured to use the initialization data to perform initialization procedures to initialize the memory and/or processor of the computing device. The platform data may be updated periodically by an end-user of the computing device.
