Abstract: A method and means for enhancing an embedded system includes a technique for generating shared library information which is stored in the ROM, the shared library information including pointers to structures for each shared library to be preloaded into the ROM, maintaining each module per library as a linked list. When the ROM image is generated, the tool writes the structures describing the preloaded libraries into the ROM image. As pointers to the structures are not valid in the ROM image, the pointers to these modules are relocated so that they are valid in the loader's address space when remapped into the loader by the kernel. At system start-up or “boot,” the kernel starts the embedded loader and maps the structures exactly where the loader expects to find them.

Abstract: A personal display device miniaturized to allow the projection of images directly on the viewer's retina which is a compact and versatile device that further minimizes the potential for total immersion. The display device can be selected for use in the monitor mode or full video and full color or monochrome operation. The invention utilizes miniaturized 2D laser arrays integrated with nonlinear optical processes combining semiconductor technology with optics technology.
