Abstract
Various embodiments of methods and systems for a power and performance-optimized secure image load boot flow in a specialty metering device ('SMD') are disclosed. An exemplary method includes a CPU that transitions into an idle state, such as a WFI state, for durations of time during a boot sequence that coincide with processing by a DMA engine. That is, the CPU may 'sleep' while the DMA engine processes workloads in response to instructions it received from the CPU.
