ABSTRACT:
A system and method for selecting a system for initializing a data processing system. A data processing system includes, a processor coupled to a memory via an interconnect and multiple systems for initializing the aforementioned data processing system. A multiplexor is also included to select between multiple initialization systems. In the method of initializing a data processing system, an initialization or reset command is received from an external reset circuit or the processor; at least one selector signal is generated; and a set of initialization data from a selected initialization system is utilized to initialize the data processing system.
