Abstract
In a system with a master processor and slave processors, sync points are used in boot instructions. While executing the boot instructions, the slave processor determines whether the sync point is enabled. In response to determining the sync point is enabled, the slave processor pauses execution of the boot instructions, waits for commands from the master processor, receives commands from the master processor, executes the received commands until a release command is received, and then continues to execute boot instructions. In response to determining the sync point is not enabled, the slave processor continues to execute boot instructions.
