1. A heterogeneous computing platform, comprising:
a first, low-power domain comprising a first set of one or more devices, wherein the first, low-power power domain is configured to receive a first voltage supply during an Out-of-Band (OOB) packet sniffing operation while a second set of one or more devices is in a low-power state; and
a second, high-power domain comprising the second set of one or more devices, wherein the second, high-power domain is configured to receive a second voltage supply under control of at least one of the first set of one or more devices.
