Abstract
Disclosed are various examples of loading management hypervisors from a system control processor. In some examples, a host device executes a first stage bootloader of a management hypervisor from a system control processor. The first stage bootloader loads management hypervisor data and firmware instructions into a main processor memory of a main processor, and initializes the main processor to execute the firmware instructions. The system then jumps to a second stage bootloader that configures and launches the management hypervisor using the management hypervisor data.
