Abstract: A booting technology for a multi-die and multi-core computing platform is shown. A storage device stores number 1 firmware code and number 0 firmware code. A master die is coupled to the storage device through a bus and accesses the number 1 firmware code from the storage device through the bus. A first slave die is also coupled to the storage device through the bus. However, instead of accessing the storage device for the number 1 firmware code, the first slave die monitors the bus and retrieves the number 1 firmware code, accessed by the master die, from the bus. The master die further accesses the number 0 firmware code from the storage device through the bus. The master die executes the number 0 firmware code to operate the master die and the first slave die to boot the system and start up the platform.

Abstract: A multi-die and multi-core computing platform in which multiple dies share the same storage device for firmware code storage is shown. After a slave die loads #1 firmware code from the storage device through a bus, the right to use the bus is released by the slave die and the slave die outputs a #0 enable signal to a master die. According to the #0 enable signal, the master die gains the right to use the bus. Through the bus, the master die loads #0 firmware code from the storage device. The slave die executes the #1 firmware code and the master die executes the #0 firmware code to initialize a link between the master and slave dies.

Abstract: A computing device is provided. The computing device includes a storage medium and a processor. The storage medium stores a configuration file for configuring a specific type of hardware within the computing device. The processor is coupled to the storage medium. The processor loads a basic input output system (BIOS), performs a first interface function to read and analyze the configuration file during an operating process of the BIOS, and configures a first register of a first specific type hardware within the computing device based on a result of the analyzing performed by the first interface function on the configuration file.
