Abstract
Systems and methods for booting an alternate Operating System (OS) by Out-of-Band (OOB) processors in heterogeneous computing platforms. In some embodiments, a heterogeneous computing platform may include an OOB Microcontroller Unit (MCU) and a memory coupled to the OOB MCU, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the OOB MCU, cause the OOB MCU to, in response to an OOB command, enable a host processor to load an alternate OS boot image, where the alternate OS boot image is stored in a storage device external to the heterogeneous computing platform.
