COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD TO REDUCE THE TIME NEEDED FOR THE DEVICE TO START

摘要

One example of the invention operates during the device shut-down procedure, to generate a merged command list containing the components from the various individual static command lists. The generated merged command list is then stored in non- volatile memory, and subsequently accessed on the next device start-up to control the launching of required software components. In this way, only one command list, being the merged command list, need be processed on device start-up, and hence device start-up time is reduced.
