To convert an executable to loadable data, you should consider using the cg_xml tools or the hex6x tool (which is part of the C6000 code generation tools). The documentation for the hex6x tool is in the Assembly Language Tools User Guide.

Loading the data into the DSP will require software running on the host processor, and since such a piece of software would be very dependent on the host and the connectivity, I suspect that TI does not provide that.

Here's a related thread with a modified version of one of the examples from the cg_xml tools:

The above bootimage script should be very easy to compile into an image which your host processor loads into the 6455.
