3.1.5.3 System Firmware Progress Events
This document defines a standard set of firmware progress codes that are reported in the Event
Data 2 PET sub-field via Sensor Type 0Fh (System Firmware Error/Progress), Sensor-specific
Offset either 01h (System Firmware Hang) or 02h (System Firmware Progress). Each descriptor
is associated with a significant event within a system’s firmware bring-up sequence; the ordering
of the events implies no specific sequencing.
Descriptor Code Description
00h Unspecified.
01h Memory initialization.
02h Hard-disk initialization

07h PCI resource configuration
08h Option ROM initialization
09h Video initialization
0Ah Cache initialization
0Bh SM Bus initialization
0Ch Keyboard controller initialization
0Dh Embedded controller/management controller initialization
0Eh Docking station attachment
0Fh Enabling docking station
10h Docking station ejection
11h Disabling docking station
12h Calling operating system wake-up vector
13h Starting operating system boot process, e.g. calling Int 19h
14h Baseboard or motherboard initialization.
