<p>The present invention is an apparatus and method for accessing and executing instruction sequences in physical memory from virtual memory in a processor-based system. The apparatus comprises a memory for storing instruction sequences by which the processor-based system is processed, where the memory includes a physical memory and a virtual memory. The apparatus also comprises a processor for executing the stored instruction sequences. The stored instruction sequences include process steps to cause the processor to: map a plurality of predetermined instruction sequences from the physical memory to the virtual memory, determine an offset to one of said plurality of predetermined instruction sequences in the virtual memory, receive an instruction to execute the one of the plurality of predetermined instruction sequences, transfer control to the one of the plurality of predetermined instruction sequences, and process the one of the plurality of predetermined instruction sequences from the virtual memory.</p> |
