ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for loading a software having several modules loadable in the non-volatile memory of a portable digital device. The loading of at least one module includes testing the existence of a data structure associated with the module in the non-volatile memory and, when necessary, to create the data structure indicating it as empty. The method further includes resolving links for totality of internal elements and, afterwards, in marking the structure as loaded. The existence of an associated data structure is determined for each other module referenced in the loadable module and, when necessary, the structure is created and indicated as empty. The invention makes it possible to reduce the space occupied by the on-board software during loading of modules.
