Integrated circuit capable of switching between non-volatile memory-based and volatile memory-based processor execution

摘要

Described examples include a system having a non-volatile memory including a binary section, a first page table and a second page table. The system also has a volatile memory and a processor coupled to the non-volatile memory and the volatile memory, the processor operable to use the first page table when the processor is initialized, the first page table including a first pointer to the binary section, the processor operable to cause copying of the binary section of the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory to create a copied binary section in the volatile memory, and the processor operable to use the second page table when the copying is complete, the second page table including a second pointer to the copied binary section.
