3.1.59 mpuFork - Fork Idle MPU
Name
mpuFork—issues an execution command to an idle processor allowing it to begin executing
target code at the address specified by the -a option. Results will depend on board
configuration and the presence of an idle processor. Before execution begins, the value
specified by the -b option is loaded into processor register r3. The execution address must not
be zero and an MPU must be in the idle state in order to accept this command. This command
is for multi-processor boards only.
Note Not applicable to single core products. To inquire about idle processors, refer to the
mpuShow command.
