Systems and methods for hardware initialization

Abstract:

A method for initializing components of an electronic device includes receiving an input signal at an initialization block; after receiving the input signal, changing a state of a finite state machine (FSM) of the initialization block; sending an initialization signal from the initialization block to a component on a chip; after sending the initialization signal, changing the state of the FSM; receiving a return signal from the component with the initialization block; and after receiving the return signal, changing the state of the FSM.
