A memory management system, and method of operation thereof, includes: a primary device of a resilient storage module configured as a boot device for booting a computer system; an operational status received from the computer system; a secondary device of the resilient storage module configured as the boot device based on the operational status indicating a non-operational state; and a memory module controller of the resilient storage module for initiating a reboot operation using the secondary device as the boot device.

A device configured to execute a plurality of operating systems, including a display configured to display a screen corresponding to an active operating system among the plurality of operating systems; and a controller configured to control the display to display an operation screen of the active operating system on the display when the active operating system is activated and to display an operation screen of a secondary operating system on the display when the device receives a user input according to a predetermined interface for switching from the active operating system to the secondary operating system.

In accordance with some embodiments, an apparatus that controls device re-configuration for security is provided. The apparatus includes a storage storing a first firmware image for a re-configurable data communication device. In some embodiments, the first firmware image provides one or more operating parameter configurations for the re-configurable data communication device. The apparatus also includes a controller, which is coupled to the storage and the re-configurable data communication device and operable to manage transport of data by the re-configurable data communication device, including obtaining the first firmware image from the storage and loading the first firmware image to the re-configurable data communication device. The apparatus additionally includes a housing at least partially supporting the storage and the controller.

An information device has a storage medium storing information items which includes a first program provided on a first partition, a second program and data provided on a second partition to restore the first program on the first partition to a predetermined state, a boot block which causes system activation from one of the first partition and the second partition, and an active-partition switching program which indicates, to the boot block, one of the first and second partitions. An input/output system activates the active-partition switching program when a specific operation is performed. The active-partition switching program indicates to the boot block that system activation is to be executed from the second partition.

Methods and systems for transferring a host image of a first machine to a second machine, such as during disaster recovery or migration, are disclosed. In one example, a first profile of a first machine of a first type, such as a first client machine, is compared to a second profile of a second machine, such as a recovery machine or a second client machine of a second type different from the first type, to which the host image is to be transferred, by a first processing device. The first and second profiles each comprise at least one property of the first type of first machine and the second type of second machine, respectively. At least one property of a host image of the first machine is conformed to at least one corresponding property of the second machine. The conformed host image is provided to the second machine, via a network. The second machine is configured with at least one conformed property of the host image by a second processing device of the second machine.

A multi-boot device capable of booting from a plurality of boot devices, each storing a boot image. The multi-boot device determines which boot device to load based on sequence numbers assigned to each of the boot devices. Some embodiments will make this determination using only hardware operations. The multi-boot device compares the sequence numbers of the available boot devices in order to determine the boot image to be loaded. The address of the selected boot image is then mapped to the device's default boot vector. The remaining images are likewise mapped to a secondary boot memory. The device then boots from the default boot vector. The user can change the boot device to be loaded by modifying one or more of the boot sequence numbers. The boot images can be updated without resetting the device by switching execution to and from boot images in the secondary boot memory.

Provided is an information processing method and device, mobile device and storage medium. The information processing method includes: detecting a current posture of a first screen; controlling the mobile device to run one of a first operating system and a second operating system according to the current posture of the foldable first screen, and the second operation system is different from the first operating system.

An electronic interaction device may include: a user interface configured to receive interaction requests by a user; a first data storage medium storing a first operating system; a second data storage medium storing a second operating system; a memory storing instructions; and a control unit including a processor. The control unit may be configured to: load the first operating system in response to the electronic interaction device being powered on; communicate with a remote server via a secure communications channel; transmit a status of the first operating system to the remote server via the secure communications channel; receive a boot instruction from the remote server via the secure communications channel; and in response to the boot instruction, load the second operating system.

In one embodiment, a method for validating a partition of a device communicably coupled to an information handling system includes: determining platform attributes associated with the information handling system; identifying a platform key associated with the information handling system; generating a trusted platform key for the information handling system based on the platform attributes and the platform key; determining partition attributes associated with the partition of the device; generating a storage root key for the partition of the device based on the partition attributes and the trusted platform key; generating a trusted boot signature for the partition of the device based on the trusted platform key and the storage root key; and storing the trusted boot signature in the partition of the device to validate the partition.

The present invention is notably directed to a user portable device (10), preferably a secure tamper-proof device, comprising: a connection interface (12) enabling connection (S2) with a computer (101); a persistent memory (14); and a bootloader (16) stored on said persistent memory (14), preferably on a secure memory (141) of the device, wherein the bootloader (16): is detectable (S3) by a firmware (122) of the computer (101) upon connection (S2) of the device (10) with said computer (101) via said connection interface; and comprises instructions for said firmware (122) to load (S4) the bootloader (16) into a memory (121) of the computer (101) for subsequent execution (S5); and to interact with the firmware, upon execution at the computer (101), to: determine, in a physical storage medium (120) of said computer (101) storing a first host operating system (111-1) and a second host operating system (111-2) respectively on a first portion (120-1) and a second portion (120-2) thereof, said second portion (120-2), from partition information (111-1p) of said physical storage medium, which partition information acknowledges the first host operating system but does not acknowledge the second host operating system; locate a part (BI) of the second host operating system (111-2) in the second portion (120-2); and execute said part (BI), whereby only the second one of the host operating systems can boot (S6-S8) from the user portable device (10).
