Zusammenfassung:	Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide technology for managing BIOS modules. The technology may include a boot controller to perform a boot procedure by loading and executing a basic input output system (BIOS) boot module, a setup controller to load and execute a BIOS boot module during runtime (i.e., bypassing reboot) using a changed hardware configuration parameter, and an update controller to load and execute a new or updated BIOS boot module during runtime (i.e., bypassing reboot), where each controller is to operate under direction of an operating system (OS). The technology may perform these BIOS operations within a secure BIOS environment.
