Abstract
Method and apparatus relating to defining additional channels in an interprocessor communication system having broadcast and non-broadcast channels. A broadcast identifier may be sent on a channel defined to be non-broadcast, generating an additional broadcast channel outside the interprocessor communication protocol definition. Likewise a device-specific identifier may be sent on a channel defined to be a broadcast channel, generating an additional non-broadcast channel outside the interprocessor communication protocol definition.
