Abstract

An electronic system is provided having at least first and second sub-systems (24, 25, 26) and a memory (54) for storage of boot-images of the respective sub-systems. A controller 31 loads the boot-images stored in the memory (54) into the respective sub-systems (24, 25, 26) in sequential order via multiplexers (29, 41 and 48). This allows to utilize an inexpensive memory device for the memory (54) and to reduce the overall code size.
