Abstract
A method and means for enhancing an embedded system includes means for and steps of executing a boot routine; activating a ROM loader routine; initializing an I/O subsystem; activating an embedded OS; creating a dynamically linked embedded system loader task, and having the embedded OS map the Global Coerced Memory (GCM) and the Global Shared Memory (GSM) into its address space so that it can access shared libraries; loading each of a plurality of executable programs, and mapping the GCM and the GSM into each executable program's address space so it is able to access shared libraries.
