Abstract

A method for converting an object code (OC1) for a source hardware (M1) into an equivalent program code (PC2) that comprises a program part (PT2) and a data part (DT2), whereby a code transformer (CT) analyzes each command of the object code (OC1) for the source hardware (M) and generates at least one corresponding entry in the program part (PT2) of the program code (PC2) from it is developed in that at least one data part (DT1) of the object code (OC1) for the source hardware (M1) and at most the complete object code (OC1) for the source hardware (M1) is accepted into the data part (DT2) of the program code (PC2). Such a method is flexible and offers high efficiency both in the conversion as well as in the running of the converted program code (PC2).
