ABSTRACT:
A booting method for a microcomputer consists in executing a Power On Self Test program, loading an operating system and executing at least one current startup file including user-selected programs. The method comprises the steps of (a) storing in a non-volatile register, accessible through a bus of the microcomputer, a programmed time associated with a pending task; (b) detecting the coincidence between the time indicated by a permanently powered clock and the programmed time, and powering-on the microcomputer; and (c) executing, instead of at least one current startup file, at least one startup file associated with the pending task.
