Abstract
A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an embedded-system device. The embedded-system device determines a respective operational state of each of one or more processes of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores the respective operational state of each of the one or more processes at a memory location in a respective memory area for the each process in a memory of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores the memory locations associated with the one or more processes in a register in the memory. The embedded-system device obtains, from the register, a memory location of at least one process of the one or more processes. The embedded-system device obtains, based on the memory location of the at least one process, the stored operational state of the at least one process from the respective memory area for the at least one process.
