Abstract
Techniques for performing progressive boot to reduce perceived boot time for a wireless device are described. Program codes to be stored in a bulk non-volatile memory may be partitioned into multiple code images. A first code image may include program codes used to support basic functionality of the wireless device. A second code image may include the remaining program codes. For progressive boot, the first code image may be loaded first from the bulk non-volatile memory. Once the first code image has been loaded, the wireless device may be rendered operational and may appear as functional to a user. While the wireless device is operational, the second code image may be loaded from the bulk non-volatile memory as background task and/or on-demand as needed.
