Abstract
A method boots a data processing system. To achieve particularly fast booting, it is proposed for a boot loader to be transferred from a non-volatile data memory to a CPU. For the boot loader to boot the data processing system and prompt a situation whereby compressed program data from the non-volatile data memory are decompressed by the CPU and are stored in decompressed form in a volatile data memory, are called therefrom at a program startup, and are used to execute a program.
Claims20
A method for booting a data processing system, which comprises the steps of:
- transferring a boot loader from a non-volatile data memory to a central processing unit (CPU), the boot loader boots the data processing system and prompts a situation whereby compressed program data from the non-volatile data memory are decompressed by the CPU and are stored in decompressed form in a volatile data memory, and are called therefrom at a program startup, and are used to execute a program.
An air defense system, comprising:
- a missile;
- and
- a data processing system for controlling operation of said missile, said data processing system having a central processing unit (CPU), a volatile memory and a non-volatile memory and containing software which, when the software is executed, has the effect that compressed program data from said non-volatile data memory are decompressed by said CPU and are stored in decompressed form in said volatile data memory, and are called therefrom at a program startup and are used to execute a program.
