Abstract
Embodiments herein relate to loading boot data. In an embodiment, a device loads boot data from a first portion of a first non-volatile memory to complete a first booting of the device. The first portion of the first non-volatile memory is then released to allow the device to overwrite the first portion. Next, the boot data is written to the first non-volatile memory before the device enters a reduced power state. The written boot data is to be loaded from the first non-volatile memory to complete a second booting of the device, if the second booting is initiated.
