Method of loading information into a slave processor in a multi-processor system using an operating-system-friendly boot loader

摘要

A conventional bootloader can conflict with the operating system (OS) of a multi-processor system. An OS-friendly bootloader and methods are described that integrate an OS with a bootloader in any system in which a host processor and a client processor have a communication mechanism that requires the OS for the mechanism to work and the client has two memory systems: one visible to both host and client and one visible only to the client.
