Abstract
An electronic device (such as an access point) that selectively changes to an alternative or different partition is described. During operation, when the electronic device is in a first power state (such as a lower power state), an integrated circuit in the electronic device may detect or receive an error state or a change instruction. In response, the integrated circuit may change an active partition in the electronic device from a first partition to a second partition. Next, the integrated circuit may transition the electronic device to a second power state (such as a higher power state). Furthermore, a processor in the electronic device (which may be the same as or different from the integrated circuit) may install and execute an operating system of the electronic device in the second partition.
