Slacker - re : MSM4000, CE, IS-95, architecture philosophy.

Hi slacker,

A 'package' can house one or more 'chips' (i.e. integrated silicon).
The package user (and the vendors own marketing blurb) often refers
to the 'package' as a 'chip'!

I covered some points regarding packages hosting multiple OS's quite recently in a discussion with Steve Malsin

Message 10563707

A chip that happens to integrate two CPU's can have two separate
OS's (one on each CPU). Mounting two separate OS's
on a single CPU is possible. A top end case tool I know of does exactly this. However, the second OS is supplied by the case tool vendor, and is specifically designed to run with a hosting OS.

The general case of mounting separate vendor's OS's (e.g. Windows CE with VxWorks RTOS) on the same CPU is not recommended.
