Multicore framework for use in pre-boot environment of a system-on-chip

A system-on-chip (SoC) comprising:

• a first processor configured to:
• initiate bootup of the SoC into a pre-boot environment;
• schedule execution of one or more boot-up tasks by a second processor;
• and
• execute one or more additional tasks in parallel with the second processor executing the one or more boot-up tasks;
• and
• the second processor configured to:
• execute the one or more boot-up tasks in the pre-boot environment.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores instructions that when executed by a system-on-chip (SoC) comprising a plurality of processors comprising a first processor and a second processor, causes the SoC to perform a method of enabling a multicore framework in a pre-boot environment for the SoC, the method comprising:

• initiating, by the first processor, bootup of the SoC into a pre-boot environment;
• scheduling, by the first processor, execution of one or more boot-up tasks by a second processor;
• executing, by the second processor, the one or more boot-up tasks in the pre-boot environment;
• and
• executing, by the first processor, one or more additional tasks in parallel with the second processor executing the one or more boot-up tasks.
