Abstract
A system including a communication circuit and a microprocessor operable to execute instruction code associated with at least a first operating system and a second operating system. The system also includes a volatile system memory to store executable code, a nonvolatile memory to store executable startup code, and nonvolatile image storage to store at least one captured state image. The captured state image includes an image of system memory in a captured state associated with a non-executing operating system. The system further includes a system transition routine to transition between the executing operating system and the non-executing operating system when an application to be run on the microprocessor requires the non-executing operating system. The system transition routine converts content of volatile memory and microprocessor registers to a captured state in accordance with the non-executing operating system captured state image stored in the nonvolatile image storage.
