    • The present invention provides methods and apparatus for upgrading firmware in an embedded system, without impacting the system. More specifically, the present invention enables an embedded system to be upgraded without any system downtime, by providing two application areas in non-volatile programmable read only memory. A processor can boot up and run from either application area. A fixed vector table is provided, which, in cooperation with a software vector table, enables the processor to maintain proper interrupt vector addresses while being able to run from either application area. Upgraded firmware can be loaded into one application area while the system is running from the other application area. Resetting the processor allows the system to run the upgraded version of firmware.
    • 本发明提供了在不影响系统的情况下升级嵌入式系统中的固件的方法和装置。 更具体地说,通过在非易失性可编程只读存储器中提供两个应用区域,本发明使嵌入式系统能够在没有任何系统停机的情况下升级。 处理器可以从任一应用程序区域启动并运行。 提供了一个固定向量表,它与软件向量表配合使得处理器能够在能够从任一应用程序区域运行的同时保持适当的中断向量地址。 升级的固件可以在系统从其他应用程序区域运行时加载到一个应用程序区域。 重置处理器允许系统运行升级版本的固件。
