The most widely used UEFI BIOS in production

The InsydeH2O "Hardware-2-Operating System" UEFI firmware solution is a complete, lab and field tested implementation of the UEFI specifications and represents today’s BIOS technology being used on Server, Desktop, Mobile and Embedded systems. As our flagship product and the most widely used UEFI BIOS in production, InsydeH2O is relied upon by leading OEMs and ODMs worldwide to bring their platforms the best in firmware security, boot performance, value-added features, and renowned reliability and compatibility.


Architecture facilitates hardware innovation and speeds time to market for new platforms

The InsydeH2O product family is developed using modern software engineering techniques, enabling ODMs and OEMs to improve efficiency, validate hardware, lower costs to support new hardware designs, and speed up system debugging. Its modularity allows faster migration from platform to platform with less engineering resources and provides development flexibility because work can be done in parallel. The same source code can be used to develop and then deploy across different segments from notebooks to desktops to servers, including those with different requirements and silicon components.

As a CPU and chipset technology neutral solution, InsydeH2O allows PC makers to select the most appropriate hardware components to meet their market requirements. Additionally, InsydeH2O is a fully Windows compliant firmware solution that employs a true modular architecture, is written in C code, and uses a driver model that enables a wide range of software engineers to be quickly productive. These benefits can facilitate platform design innovation as well as faster time-to-market.


Support for the latest client platforms from Intel, AMD and Qualcomm

We work closely with leading silicon makers to ensure that our products are optimized for their latest reference designs. Our experience working with new designs ensures that we can provide you with optimized and reliable products and services for your new platform. Bringing up InsydeH2O on your new platforms is a quick and easy experience.


Comprehensive support for the latest UEFI, PI and industry specifications

Industry specifications are constantly evolving as we all work to improve and advance the technology between operating systems and platform firmware. Rest assured that InsydeH2O will always be at the forefront of supporting new specifications established by the UEFI Forum and other Industry groups. Easy-to-create & easy-to- use library approach to customization provides easy updates to the next generation silicon and the ability to match perfectly with ODM manufacturing lines.

Creating libraries to support your unique customizations is simple with InsydeH2O. Insyde has crafted a comprehensive list of libraries to meet the design specifications of major OEMs. You can use the same concepts and customization technologies in your own designs. You can either roll your own or have Insyde help you create your own production-tested OEM library.


Delivers fast boot times, ranging in single-digit seconds using our Fast Boot technology

Decreasing boot times and operating system load times is now in high demand from consumers, leading operating systems providers, and PC Systems makers. InsydeH2O’s Fast Boot technology answers this demand by offering OEMs and ODMs a new level of fast boot time performance for their new platforms. Derived from over five generations of UEFI BIOS firmware experience, Insyde Fast Boot offers platform designers the most efficient code path for the fastest boot to Windows operating systems.


Defense in Depth Against Exploits on 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processors

In this paper, we look at a few ways you can use Insyde Software’s UEFI firmware and the Intel® System Resource Defense feature of the Intel Runtime BIOS Protection found in the 11th Gen Intel® Core™ Processor (codename Tiger Lake) when the firmware has been compromised. Either an attacker’s unauthorized code is executing in the firmware or authorized code in the firmware is executing badly under the attacker’s control. How can the user or IT administrator limit the damage and respond?
