BOOT PROCESS FOR EARLY DISPLAY INITIALIZATION AND VISUALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18361128 titled 'BOOT PROCESS FOR EARLY DISPLAY INITIALIZATION AND VISUALIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is about improving the boot process for early display initialization and visualization.

  • The system includes multiple processor cores and a cache.
  • The controller circuit initializes a portion of the cache as static memory for hardware initialization code usage.
  • The hardware initialization code is executed after the power is turned on.
  • The display device is initialized independently of the dynamic memory of the hardware processor.


Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments are directed to improving boot process for early display initialization and visualization. An embodiment of a system includes a plurality of processor cores; a cache coupled to the plurality of processor cores; and a controller circuit to: initialize a portion of the cache as static memory for hardware initialization code usage before beginning execution of the hardware initialization code after a power on of the hardware processor; and cause initialization of a display device to be performed using the portion of the cache, the initialization of the display device performed independently of initialization of dynamic memory of the hardware processor.
