Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) Lack of isolation between kernel mode and user mode, the operating system and application program run in the same address space, once the application program crashes, the data of the operating system may also be destroyed
[0005] (2) There is a lack of isolation between various applications. Once one of the applications fails, the reliability of the entire system will be destroyed.
[0006] (3) The information security of the application program is poor. Once any component is compromised, it may lead to data leakage of the entire system
[0007] (4) Application deployment is cumbersome. In traditional embedded systems, the entire system needs to be compiled into a single image, which damages the flexibility of system deployment and increases the burden of image assembly for users
[0008] (5) The memory organization of the application program is cumbersome. In a small number of applications that support kernel mode user mode and address space isolation between applications, the system designer needs to clearly specify the settings of each protection domain for each application. Due to the support of each hardware The number and limit of protection domains are different. When the number of protection domains used by the application is greater than that provided by the hardware, in order to reduce the number of protection domains, it is necessary to manually adjust the memory layout of the application to merge some protection domains.
[0009] (6) It is difficult to perform dynamic memory allocation. Once dynamic memory allocation is performed, a new protection domain may be required. When the protection domain provided by the hardware is exhausted, the new memory cannot be accessed by applications
[0010] (7) The system may have a variety of memories with different access delay or bandwidth or persistence properties. It is difficult for the interface of the existing operating system to specify the properties of the allocated memory. For example, an embedded system may have SRAM, DRAM and FRAM at the same time The memory of the three attributes, and the application wants to specify the allocation of storage space on one of the memories

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for creating a multi-image-based multifunctional embedded system, which is characterized in that a memory protection unit and a base address-length type memory management unit which are common on small embedded hardware of a single-chip microprocessor are allowed to be used, and the fact that the number of memory segments of the application program module to exceedthe number of memory segments directly supported by hardware is allowed, if the memory layout of the application program is relatively complex, descriptors of a part of memory segments is loaded intoa hardware register for protection, and the memory layout is stored by using an app _ mem _ trie data structure. The method has the advantages that the flexibility and the safety of the system are improved; Query and modification of deterministic worst execution time are allowed while the storage memory is saved, and the predictability and real-time performance of the system are improved; It is guaranteed to the maximum extent that access of the real-time memory segment does not generate memory access abnormity, the predictability and real-time performance of the system are guaranteed, and high practical value and practical significance are achieved.
