<!--quotebegin-bkucera@Jan 3 2006, 07:00 PM in a multiprocessor system, the extension of that would be, is it possible for one processor to load code from flash into sdram and cause it to run on another processor?

--- Quote End --- I think so, but I never tried it... the code should be crafted to be loaded and executed on the other processor, and the memories should be shared between the two CPUs... then you can write the memory from one CPU, then just send a message to the other CPU saying you want to execute some code at some location, and the second CPU could wake up and jump to the appropriate location... bye Paolo <div align='right'><{post_snapback}> (index.php?act=findpost&pid=11912)</div> [/b] --- Quote End --- Ok, but how would sending that message work? Doesn't that imply that there's already some code running on that CPU waiting to receive the message?
