Yes, you can store a program in OTP and boot from OTP. The code size is limited to 8KB and cannot be changed once programmed into OTP.

Please see the xburn manual: http://www.xmos.com/download/public/XBU ... 1482A).pdf

However, in general OTP is used to boot an encrypted image from flash, rather than storing the entire program (since there is only 8kB of OTP)
