Abstract
In described examples, a method of operating a system on chip (SoC) includes the following steps. Receive a component description that describes connections among circuit elements of the SoC. Receive a list of specified peripherals to activate while the SoC boots. Receive a hint data that describes a bypass mode clock frequency of a phase locked loop (PLL) of the SoC. Determine an operational data in response to the component description, the hint data, and the specified peripherals. The operational data specifies a subset of the circuit elements required to make the specified peripherals operational. Initialize, and limit the initializing, to the subset of the circuit elements.
