+Both the target hardware architecture and the mapping directives (placement of software tasks on the physical processors / placement of the software objects on the physical memory banks) must be described in a python script. This section describes the Python constructs used to describe the mapping. This python script generates the ''map.bin'' C binary  file, that is used by the bootloader to iniialise the system.

+The GIET_VM bootloader load the ''map.bin'' file, build the page tables as specified in the mapping (one page table per virtual space), activates the MMU for all processors, initializes the distributed schedulers (one scheduler per processor), initializes the external (non replicated) peripherals, and load the kernel code, as well as the user application(s) code.
