Abstract
A method and system for executing a software application having a binary size that is larger than an available memory space in an embedded system from which the software application will execute. The software application is split into one or more initialization sequences and a main code sequence. The method includes loading (302) each initialization sequence of the one or more initialization sequences in the memory space prior to its execution, and executing (304) each initialization sequence of the one or more initialization sequences out of the memory space. Further, the method includes loading (306) the main code sequence in the memory space after the execution of the one or more initialization codes and then executing (308) the main code sequence out of the memory space.
