You might look at a program called check, the basis of ispy. The source
of check should be available. Last I knew, it was on
archive-server@inmos.com.

This does dynamic network loading, and dynamic code paging (into
internal RAM).

The technique is that the code on the Transputer is brought down to a
single thread, and then there is some assembler that emulates the
bootstrap mechanism, to reload code as if the machine were just being
booted.

It also includes tools to put your own bootstrap on the front of a
compiled module. You could even twiddle the supplied bootstrap, though
I wouldn't recommend it.

The module must have a fixed parameter list - I think only one INT which
is the bootstrapping link.

Cheers,  Andy.     (getting rusty on this stuff :-)
