Abstract: Various aspects include methods for implementing a reduced size firmware storage format on a computing device. Various aspects may include storing a first firmware description table to a first sector of a flash memory, in which the first firmware description table may define a first instance of a firmware including describing a first plurality of firmware images, storing the first plurality of firmware images to a first plurality of consecutive sectors, storing a second firmware description table to a second sector, in which the second firmware description table may define a second instance of the firmware including describing a second plurality of firmware images having a third plurality of firmware images, storing the third plurality of firmware images to a second plurality of consecutive sectors, and booting the computing device using the second firmware description table.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus and techniques for configuring memory in an effort to reduce power consumption. For example, certain aspects of the present disclosure may provide an apparatus having a processing system configured to determine an operating mode of an application executing on the processing system. The operating mode may be one of a plurality of operating modes of the application, and each operating mode of the plurality of operating modes may correspond to a different configuration of memory. In certain aspects, the configurations of memory may correspond to different portions of memory that are active or inactive. In certain aspects, the apparatus may also include a memory control module configured to configure the memory based on the determined operating mode of the application.
