Patent ID: 8601145

Claim:
An inter-processor communication link system for a wireless device platform, comprising: first and second microprocessor subsystems configured to support the wireless device platform for wireless applications; a manageability control module configured to apply a protocol for communicating over a microprocessor bus of the first microprocessor subsystem, the second microprocessor subsystem accessing the manageability control module, the manageability control module performing a management function on the first microprocessor subsystem, even when a processor core of the first microprocessor subsystem is not responsive to any signal; and an inter-processor communication link configured to provide at least a bi-directional communication path to and from at least one peripheral bus of the first microprocessor subsystem; a wireless device including the first and second microprocessor subsystems, the manageability control module, and the inter-processor communication link; a first multi-channel link of the inter-processor communication link configured to receive communications from the at least one peripheral bus of the first microprocessor subsystem: a second multi-channel link of the inter-processor communication link configured to transmit communications to the at least one peripheral bus of the first microprocessor subsystem: and a predetermined channel of an inbound link of the inter-processor communication link configured to receive a communication used to perform the management function.
