[OpenBIOS] Can init-program cause code to run?

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi all,

I've recently seen a couple of test cases in SPARC64 Forth bootloaders 
whereby during execution, the bootloaders call "init-program" on an 
address and expect it to start executing immediately.

My understanding from reading the IEEE1275 specification is that 
"init-program" merely sets up the execution state ready for it to be 
invoked by "go" and doesn't start execution itself - or could it be that 
because "go" is currently running then "init-program" detects this and 
automatically re-invokes "go" on the new payload itself?


ATB,

Mark.
