DATA CONVERSION HARDWARE SUPPORT

摘要

To achieve a highly efficient update of software in computer based systems, there is provided a software processing system comprising two partitions (A, B) that are connected through a linking means (24). The two partitions (A, B) are adapted to update a state of new software in one memory means (12) to the sate of old software in the other memory means (32) during the execution of the old software. In particular, the transfer of data from old software to new software is supported by a data conversions support device (50) adapted to output the start address of a conversion program being related to a data variable to be converted.
