I/o co-processor coupled hybrid computing device

A computing device comprising:

• a reduced-capacity processor via which the computing device controls a peripheral device;
• a high-capacity processor relative to the reduced-capacity processor and via which the computing device controls the reduced-capacity processor;
• and
• the computing device configured to switch control of the peripheral device from the reduced-capacity processor to the high-capacity processor via the reduced-capacity processor.

At least one memory storage device that includes computer-executable instructions that, based on execution by a computing device that comprises a reduced-capacity processor and a high-capacity processor relative to the reduced-capacity processor, cause the computing device to perform actions comprising:

• controlling, by a reduced-capacity processor of the computing device, a peripheral device;
• controlling, by a high-capacity processor of the computing device and relative to the reduced-capacity processor, a reduced-capacity processor;
• and
• switching, by the computing device, control of the peripheral device from the reduced-capacity processor to the high-capacity processor via the reduced-capacity processor.
