Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling the mapping of a logical address of a logical address space to a physical address of a physical address space (20). Said method involves the following steps: a first physical address and a corresponding memory cell, which are associated by the mapping (30) of a logical address, are determined; the memory cell is checked for serviceability; and the mapping (30) is modified if the check reveals that the memory cell is not serviceable, in such a way that the logical address is mapped to a second physical address in the physical address space (20). In this way, access to a physical memory is carried out by means of logical addresses which are mapped to the physical addresses of the physical memory, i.e. virtual memory addressing is used in order to mask out non-serviceable memory cells in a simple and effective manner.
