Method and apparatus for overlay management within an integrated executable for a heterogeneous architecture (US7222332)

pre-binding the plurality of partitioned sections to each other, wherein pre-binding comprises at least associating a particular data section of a plurality of data sections with a particular partitioned code section;

creating a root module, associated with both the pre-bound plurality of partitions and the overlay sections, employable to exchange the at least two overlay sections between the first and second execution environments;

binding the pre-bound plurality of partition sections to the at least one unpartitioned section; and

creating an integrated executable.
