12Power Savings: Designed for Fastboot• Home appliances are “off” and must not consume power

• Must also be “on” immediately

– Washing machine, dryer control UI

– Machine control drivers can lag UI

• Operating System must up and running within 250ms or earlier

• OS boot process must be easily configurable, customizable, and debugged

• Instant Device Activation (IDA) loads drivers during boot process, giving access to critical resources 50ms after power-on-reset

• Staged boot process provides ultimate flexibility of system design
