What is the format of the .binary / _P2_PROP.BIX file or in what document is it described?

    There is no format. It's just code that loads into RAM. The first 504(???) longs load into cog 0 to start it.

    Cog 0 starts executing machine code from the first longword of the binary. It's one big DAT section effective.

    If it includes a Spin2 program then the first part of the binary is the Spin2 interpreterVM starting up.
