Abstract
An integrated circuit comprises a processing unit configured for booting up with a set of boot instructions, then for determining the size of the instructions of an application programme and potentially rebooting on its own initiative, while being reconfigured, in order for it to execute the instructions of the application program. Only one boot memory is needed as a consequence.
