1. A method for booting an information handling system, the method comprising:
prior to loading an operating system, executing a binding driver to provide a silicon-agnostic sensor hub binding protocol;
performing a sensor hub enumeration in accordance with the sensor hub binding protocol to identify one or more sensor hubs of the information handling system; and
for each of the one or more sensor hubs, selecting a sensor hub plugin and loading the sensor hub plugin to memory, wherein the sensor hub plugin publishes a plugin sensor protocol suitable for consumption by pre-boot applications for sensor enumeration.
