Abstract

A system and method of initializing a core processing circuit are disclosed. The core processing circuit is held in a reset state while a reset vector is loaded to one or more registers at a boot address associated with the core processing circuit. The reset vector is loaded from a system memory through a host bridge. The reset vector comprises one or more instructions to initialize the core processing system upon release from a reset state.
