Hardware and Software Partitioning Method of Embedded System based on Immune Algorithm

With the rapid development of embedded system and microelectronics technology, the integration of hardware is getting higher and higher, which makes it possible to integrate CPU, memory and I/O devices into a silicon chip. SoC has gradually become the mainstream of embedded system design technology with its high integration, good reliability, short product launch cycle and other characteristics. However, with the increase of system complexity, the traditional design methods have been unable to meet the requirements of system design. Hardware partitioning is the process of creating a “hard drive” for each application. This allows you to install multiple applications on a single computer and move them as needed without having to reinstall the entire operating system or lose data. Software partitions are similar, but you will create virtual drives to install software applications instead of having a hard drive for each application. The main difference between the two methods is that each individual application has its own physical storage space (such as RAM) through hardware partitioning. Through software partition, all programs are stored in one place, which can share RAM.
