Booting a system-on-chip

Abstract:

Approaches for configuring a system-on-chip (SOC) include generating component images for components of the SOC. A first component image is for a platform management controller, a second component image is for programmable logic, and a third component image is for a processor subsystem. The plurality of component images are assembled into a programmable device image, and the programmable device image is input to the platform management controller. The platform management controller is booted from the first component image, the programmable logic is configured with the second component image by the platform management controller in executing the first component image, and the processor subsystem is configured with the third component image by the platform management controller in executing the first component image.
