Abstract
A system on a chip comprises a managing processor for controlling operations of the system on a chip. The managing processor comprises a core monitor control logic circuit operable to: receive at least one instruction; determine whether the instruction is an activation instruction; determine whether the managing processor is in or transitioning to an idle state; and transition the managing processor from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation in response to the instruction being an activation instruction and the managing processor being in or transitioning to an idle state.
