Abstract
This disclosure is directed to performing a controlled reset of one or more cores while maintaining operation of at least one other core in a multi-core processor. An initialization core may include reset logic that may detect a problematic core or core that is unresponsive or otherwise not operating properly. The initialization core may generate a packet that enables communication with the problematic core. The initialization core may send a reset packet to the problematic core to instruct the problematic core to perform a reset.
