ABSTRACT:
A method and system is provided for efficient execution of code in memory by a processing device and may comprise determining whether a first type of memory is present. If the first type of memory is present, at least a portion of code stored in the first type of memory may be copied to a second type of memory and executed in the latter. The first type of memory may be NAND flash memory and the second type of memory may be SDRAM. A loader image may be copied from the first type of memory to an instruction memory and a jump made to the entry of the copied loader image. Code for the loader image may then be executed. Vectors may also be copied from the first type of memory to the instruction memory and mapped to a startup address.
