Abstract
A method of booting a system on chip (SoC) includes using an on-chip MRAM located in the SoC, to store a boot software that includes a start-up software, boot loaders, and kernel and user-personalized information in an on-chip magnetic random access memory (MRAM) located in and residing on the same semiconductor as the SoC. The method further includes directly executing the boot software from the on-chip MRAM by the SoC and directly accessing the user-personalized information from the MRAM by the SoC.
