Method and device to distribute code and data stores between volatile memory and non-volatile memory

A device comprising:

• an embedded controller to
• execute one or more static code segments of a firmware directly from a phase change memory with switch (PCMS) device;
• execute one or more static data segments of the firmware directly from the PCMS device;
• and
• execute one or more volatile data segments of the firmware from a static random access memory device integrated into the embedded controller.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a volatile memory device to store memory allocation logic;
• and
• a phase change memory with switch (PCMS) device;
• wherein when the memory allocation logic is executed by the processor it causes the processor to
• store one or more static code segments of a software application and one or more static data segments of the software application in the PCMS device;
• store one or more volatile data segments of the software application in the volatile memory device;
• and
• allocate an address mapping table in the volatile memory with at least a first address pointer to point to each of the one or more static code segments, at least as second address pointer to point to each of the one or more static data segments, and at least a third address pointer to point to each of the one or more volatile data segments.
