The external term format is documented in
 erts/emulator/internal_doc/erl_ext_dist.txt
in the source distribution.

The text document will be upgradet to be part of the official
documentation in a forthcoming release (I don't promise when)

You can also look ath the erl_interface and j_interface sources to see
how the connection handshake works because I am not sure it
is completely described in the text.
