The system can be initialized without requiring a secondary boot sequence which means it can be used in preference to embedded or serial FLASH solutions. There is provided a computer system comprising: a processor; an external memory, being external to the processor; a memory controller for the external memory; and a power management unit which is arranged to receive a wake up signal, then to first wake up the memory controller; and secondly at a later time to wake up the processor.
