Abstract: An apparatus to implement an IP independent secure firmware load into an IP agent without a ROM to establish hardware root of trust is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plurality of agents, at least one agent including an isolated memory region accessible only to a trusted entity of the at least one agent and a main memory, and a processor to allocate a section of the isolated memory region of the at least one agent, verify a first stage firmware module, the first stage firmware module comprising instructions to enable the at least one agent to load and verify a second stage firmware module, place the first stage firmware module into memory of the at least one agent without a ROM to establish the hardware root of trust.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to implement always-on context sensor hubs for processing multiple different types of data inputs are disclosed. An examples apparatus includes a first processor core to implement a host controller, and a second processor core to implement an offload engine. The host controller includes first logic to process sensor data associated with an electronic device when the electronic device is in a low power mode. The host controller is to offload a computational task associated with the sensor data to the offload engine. The offload engine includes second logic to execute the computational task.
