Abstract
Various aspects are described herein. In some aspects, the disclosure provides a method of enabling a multicore framework in a pre-boot environment for a system-on-chip (SoC) comprising a plurality of processors comprising a first processor and a second processor. The method includes initiating, by the first processor, bootup of the SoC into a pre-boot environment. The method further includes scheduling, by the first processor, execution of one or more boot-up tasks by a second processor. The method further includes executing, by the second processor, the one or more boot-up tasks in the pre-boot environment. The method further includes executing, by the first processor, one or more additional tasks in parallel with the second processor executing the one or more boot-up tasks.
