Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method for booting a system-on-chip (SoC) including the steps of directly executing a boot software from an on-chip magnetic random access memory (MRAM) residing on a same semiconductor as the SoC; directly executing an operating system software from an external MRAM by the SoC without loading the operating system into a volatile memory; and directly executing an application software from the external MRAM by the SoC, wherein the external MRAM is coupled to the SoC and is configured for storing the operating system software and the application software.
