Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for dual processor single board computers are provided. For example, a dual processor single board computer may include a management processor with associated memory, an application co-processor with associated memory, and a plurality of bus switches. The dual processor single board computer may be used in devices that may be exposed to radiation, such as satellites. During a radiation event, the management processor may continue operation and isolate the application co-processor and certain memories to cease operation to increase the amount of radiation safely received before damage. After the radiation event, the management processor may reboot the application co-processor, and update applications to allow a device to continue its mission.
