Abstract

A motherboard for selecting one of sub-systems immediately includes a plurality of sub-systems, a shared/control unit, and an input/output unit. The plurality of sub-systems individually has a corresponding kernel unit, a corresponding interface control unit and a corresponding power circuit. According to an external selecting signal, the shared/control unit selects a corresponding sub-system to be the target sub-system, so that the target sub-system can control all the shared peripherals.
