Abstract
Methods and apparatus are disclosed to improve system boot speed. A disclosed example method includes associating a first serial peripheral interface (SPI) with a baseboard management controller (BMC), copying an image from the first SPI to a volatile memory in response to receiving power at the BMC, and in response to receiving an access request associated with the first SPI, providing access to the image stored in the volatile memory.
