Techniques for powering up a wireless power receiving device are described herein. An example computing device includes a power receiving unit to wirelessly receive power from a power transmitting unit. The platform hardware includes a System on a Chip (SoC), a multicomm device, and a power sequence manager. The multicomm device is for wireless communication with two or more communication standards. One of the communication standards is used as a side channel for communicating with the power transmitting unit. The power sequence manager component manages activation of platform components of the platform hardware during a low battery cold boot condition. Upon detecting wireless power, the multicomm device is configured to automatically activate and the power sequence manager component is to suppress activation of other platform components of the platform hardware.

Powering up a wireless power receiving device

A system and method for transmitting data includes one or more transmitters connected to each of at least one bus data line via open-driver bus data line drivers, and one or more receivers. In a preferred embodiment, the devices are interconnected by a parallel interface using a bus architecture having the bus data and carrier-sense (CRS) lines each driven by open-collector or open-drain drivers in a wired-and configuration. Pullup resistors and a common clock signal are also provided. Each device is provided with an interfacing unit which connects the device to the bus, and detects collisions by comparing data transmitted by the device with data received from the bus. The invention is particularly applicable to implementation as a backplane connecting intercommunicating printed wiring boards having interfaces such as the IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) Media Independent Interface (MII), the interfacing unit serving to emulate the Ethernet PHY.
