发明名称 Serial interface for reprogramming multiple network interface cards and method of operation
摘要 An apparatus for transferring a replacement program into a plurality of dedicated memories. The apparatus includes a replacement program memory for storing the replacement program; 2) a first microcontroller coupled to the replacement program memory and having a first dedicated memory associated therewith; and 3) a second microcontroller coupled to the replacement program memory and having a second dedicated memory associated therewith. After a power reset has occurred, the first microcontroller monitors a first signal line to the replacement program memory to determine if the second microcontroller is transferring the replacement program from the replacement program memory to the second dedicated memory; The first microcontroller, in response to a determination that the second microcontroller is transferring the replacement program, transfers at least a portion of the replacement program to the first dedicated memory as the replacement program is read from the replacement program memory by the second microcontroller.
