Abstract
The increased demand in applications of Digital Signal Processors (DSP) are reaching the limits of the basic method of statically loading libraries. These statically loaded libraries are fixed to the location in memory where they can be executed. Therefore these inflexible libraries are difficult to use in multitasking environments, are not portable between different DSP architectures and are an inefficient use of RAM. A Dynamic Run- Time Loader for libraries adds an abstraction layer between the DSP kernel and the library. This solution will remove the memory inflexibility of the static model while improving code reuse, portability and multitasking ability, to help meet the demands of tomorrows DSP applications.
