Abstract
A method, a device and a terminal for controlling dual-processor switch are disclosed in the present invention. The terminal may include an X86 processor system, an embedded processor system and a switch module connecting the X86 processor system with the embedded processor system. The switch module may be coupled to the peripheral device of the terminal. The method includes that the switch module is controlling the peripheral device by receiving a control signal from the X86 processor system, the switch module receiving a triggering signal for switching to the embedded processor system. The switch module wakes up the embedded processor system, switching to receive a control signal sent from the embedded processor system, and controlling the peripheral device by using the control signal from the embedded processor system. The method may enable the embedded processor system to control the peripheral device of the terminal individually through the switch module. Therefore, the embedded processor system may accomplish specific applications of the terminal without starting up the X86 processor system.
