Abstract
The boot operations of one or more systems may be redirected. For example, a master boot processor may configure a slave boot processor to boot over a communication bus existing between the processors, which typically eliminates the need for boot software in slave systems. This can be accomplished such as by the master system updating a programmable interface of the slave system to identify an image from which to boot, such as from a remote boot image stored external to the slave system.
