Aptio extends the UEFI model into all aspects of firmware development, leveraging modern concepts in development and deployment tools.

Also available for viewing and demonstration will be the recently released AMIDebug Rx USB handheld debug device, a revolutionary concept in BIOS and UEFI debug. Connected to the demonstrations, AMI will participate in a track presentation by Brian Richardson, Senior Technical Marketing Engineer at AMI, entitled "Best Technical Methods for UEFI Development" (Session EFIS004) in Room 2002 of the Moscone Center West at 11:10pm.

In conjunction with this unveiling, Vice President of Research and Development for MegaRAC Remote Management Products, Sanjoy Maity, will also give a presentation on his team’s development of the MegaRAC CMM (Chassis Management Module) and its role in managing SSI-compliant blade chassis systems. The title of this track presentation is "SSI-Interoperability Delivered: How Server System Infrastructure (SSI) Specifications Provides Interoperable Components" (IDF Session ETMS006), and it will be held in Room 2006 of the Moscone Center West on Thursday (9/24) at 2:40 pm.
