Abstract
Techniques for powering up a wireless power receiving device are described herein. An example computing device includes a power receiving unit to wirelessly receive power from a power transmitting unit. The platform hardware includes a System on a Chip (SoC), a multicomm device, and a power sequence manager. The multicomm device is for wireless communication with two or more communication standards. One of the communication standards is used as a side channel for communicating with the power transmitting unit. The power sequence manager component manages activation of platform components of the platform hardware during a low battery cold boot condition. Upon detecting wireless power, the multicomm device is configured to automatically activate and the power sequence manager component is to suppress activation of other platform components of the platform hardware.
