Abstract
During a boot process of a data processing device having a master bootstrap processor device and multiple slave processor devices, memory associated with the master bootstrap processor is not accessible. Accordingly, the master bootstrap processor communicates configuration information to a slave processor by writing configuration information to a register associated with the slave processor. The slave processor communicates an acknowledgment to the master bootstrap processor in response to reading the configuration information.
