Abstract
In a multiprocessor system, a primary processor may store an executable image for a secondary processor. A communication protocol assists the transfer of an image header and data segment(s) of the executable image from the primary processor to the secondary processor. Messages between the primary processor and secondary processor indicate successful receipt of transferred data, termination of a transfer process, and acknowledgement of same.
