ABSTRACT:
The invention provides for a CPU in a digital system to control the location of the code being executed by one or more peripheral CPUs when all CPUs share a common memory. This allows the CPU to allocate convenient (e.g., unused) blocks of its address space for the code for the peripheral CPU(s). Additionally, for digital systems in which the peripheral CPU(s) cannot address the full range of the address space of the shared memory that is available to the CPU, the CPU can control the relocation of the block of code for the peripheral CPU(s) (i.e., provide a code paging system).
