Memory Protection

Many embedded systems include memory protection, which is required to build fault tolerant systems. An increasing number of CPUs have on-chip memory management units (MMU) or Memory Protection Units (MPU).

SCIOPTA supports memory protection with the SCIOPTA Memory Management System (SMMS).

SCIOPTA Memory Management System SMMS

SCIOPTA applications can take full advantage of hardware memory management/protection units by using SMMS. The MMU/MPU of the CPU can protect data, code belonging to processes, and it protects whole memory areas from corruption.
The SCIOPTA standard kernel memory management and the CPU memory management unit functionality are integrated in SMMS. This helps the building of protected and fault tolerant systems.
