Abstract

A system implementing an execute-in-place (XIP) architecture is presented comprising a plurality of XIP regions. To facilitate execute-in-place functionality across the multiple XIP regions, a virtual address table (VAT) is generated to store pointers to the objects stored in the non-volatile memory hosting the multiple XIP regions.
