Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for safe startup, comprising a control apparatus. The control apparatus includes a first arithmetic processing device for executing a first program, a second arithmetic processing device for executing a second program, and a storage device for storing the second program. The first arithmetic processing device is configured to: verify whether each of the first program and the second program has been falsified, acquire the second program from the storage device when the verification unit verifies that the first program is not falsified, and notify the second microcomputer of startup permission of the second program when the verification unit verifies that the second program is not falsified, wherein the second arithmetic processing device acquires the second program from the storage device and starts up the second program when a notification of the startup permission is issued.
