  • Multiprocessor messaging system
    Patent number: 10698858
    Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a first microprocessor and a second microprocessor. An external memory system is coupled to the first and second microprocessors and is configured to receive and temporarily store messages transferred between the first and second microprocessors. A first signaling pathway may be configured to send message transmission coordination signals from the first microprocessor to the second microprocessor. A second signaling pathway may be configured to send message transmission coordination signals from the second microprocessor to the first microprocessor. The first signaling pathway may be independent of the second signaling pathway. The first signaling pathway may be coupled to at least two flag registers associated with the second microprocessor. The second signaling pathway may be coupled to at least two flag registers associated with the first microprocessor.
    Type: Grant
