Abstract
Method and device for controlling a process in a vehicle, in particular for controlling a drive in the vehicle, using at least one processor. Control functions are stored in the form of program code in a processor-addressable address space of at least one memory. The address space is divided into segments of equal length, and the program code is stored as program parts per control function in individual, consecutive sections in the segment. At least two segments are linked so that a section of a first segment is programmed as an exit label from the first segment, and a second section in the second segment is programmed as an entry label to the second segment. A transition from the exit label of the first segment to the entry label of the second segment brackets the code segments and thus expands the possible segment area.
