ABSTRACT:
A system for enabling expanded instruction sets, applications, data and parameters to be downloaded from one processor to another so that processors ordinarily intended for specific tasks can run other tasks without having an expanded instruction set and application code specifically developed or always resident. In an exemplary embodiment, four types of extended commands are issued by the system processor to the peripheral processor in which a command table is built to point to interpretable images resident therein. The interpretable image is downloaded by a first command and contains the executable code and parameters needed to perform the downloaded task. A second command is issued to execute the interpretable image and may include additional data. A third command is provided to delete previously downloaded interpretable images, and a fourth command is provided to enable the system processor to query other processors for resident interpretable images.
