摘要：Systems and methods for initializing devices such as computers, computer-based appliances, and processors and, in particular, systems and methods for initializingdevices comprising one or more volatile logic devices after a power turn-on or acommanded reset. In one aspect, a method for initializing a computer system comprisessensing a command signal to boot the computer system, generating a first control signalto initialize a boot process, generating a second control signal to initialize a
programmable logic device prior to completion of the initialization of the boot process,and booting the computer system using the initialized programmable logic device. Inanother aspect, a boot manager circuit is provided for managing initialization of acomputer system. One embodiment of a boot manager circuit comprises a first sensecircuit for sensing power-up and ensuring power stability, a second sense circuit forsensing a command signal to boot the computer system; a control circuit for generatinga control signal in response to sensing of a command signal, to initialize a programmablelogic device in advance of a boot process, and a state machine for outputting a flagindicative of the type of the type of boot process commanded.
