Abstract
A co-processor system and a method for loading an application to a local memory of a co-processor system. In the method, re-locatable code and descriptive data are copied from a loading region to a non-loading region. An executable image to be loaded is loaded using the re-locatable code copied to the non-loading region according to the descriptive data. The local memory includes a loading region and a non-loading region, the loading region stories a loader and descriptive data of an executable image to be loaded of the application, and the loader includes re-locatable code. A system is provided for carrying out the steps of the method. In accordance with the system and method of the present invention, flexibility of co-processor system application development is improved without occupying additional storage space.
