Multi-die and multi-core computing platform and booting method therefor
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.
