Systems, methods, and machine-readable media for initiating a recovery mode to execute a recovery mode procedure is discussed. The system may include a main processor, an embedded controller, timer circuitry, and recovery circuitry. The recovery circuitry may be configured to receive an indication to execute a recovery mode procedure and, in response to receiving the indication to execute the recovery mode procedure, to trigger a first time period and a second time period. The timer circuitry may be configured to shut off the embedded controller for the first time period, wherein when the first time period expires, the embedded controller is further configured to boot from embedded controller recovery code and shut off the main processor for the second time period, wherein when the second time period expires, the main processor may be configured to boot from main processor recovery code and execute the recovery mode procedure.
