  • Method of loading information into a slave processor in a multi-processor system using an operating-system-friendly boot loader
    Patent number: 7356680
    Abstract: A conventional bootloader can conflict with the operating system (OS) of a multi-processor system. An OS-friendly bootloader and methods are described that integrate an OS with a bootloader in any system in which a host processor and a client processor have a communication mechanism that requires the OS for the mechanism to work and the client has two memory systems: one visible to both host and client and one visible only to the client.

  • Flexible data file format
    Publication number: 20060288019
    Abstract: A data format includes a header, section information, and one or more sections. Each section includes binary data that is encoded independently of other sections, and the header and section information contains information about the sizes, load addresses, and encoding, e.g., encryption and/or compression, of the sections. The header and section information are arranged in an image having this format such that they are readable before the sections are processed. For example, the sections can be located in sequence after the header and the section information, in an order determined by their load addresses.
