Abstract
Various embodiments include methods and devices for implementing external paging and swapping for dynamic modules on a computing device. Embodiments may include assigning static virtual addresses to a base image and dynamic modules of a static image of firmware of the computing device from a virtual address space for the static image, decompose static image into the base image and the dynamic modules, load the base image to an execution memory during a boot time from first partition of a storage memory, reserve a swap pool in the execution memory during the boot time, and load a dynamic module of the dynamic modules to the swap pool from a second partition of storage memory during a run time.
