摘要： A mobile electronic device with NOR and/or NAND flash memory may be updated using an update agent able to perform fault tolerant updates. The efficiency of an update of the memory of the device may be significantly improved by employing memory management information provided by a generator used to produce update information for updating the memory. Erasures and writes to blocks of flash memory may be reduced by mapping a logical block layout to a physical block layout that helps avoid moves of memory blocks to be updated. Fault tolerance of the update process is maintained.

摘要： A mobile handset in a mobile services network, with access to a plurality of services including a firmware/software update service, is also capable of updating its update agent using an appropriate update package. The update package is retrieved from an update package repository via a management server. In one embodiment, the existing update agent is copied to a backup section before the update agent itself is updated. On the subsequent reboot, the new update agent is employed unless it is determined that it is corrupted or ineffective, in which case the old update agent is reactivated.
摘要翻译：移动服务网络中的移动手持机还能够使用适当的更新包来更新其更新代理，其中可访问包括固件/软件更新服务在内的多个服务。通过管理服务器从更新包存储库检索更新包。在一个实施例中，在更新代理本身被更新之前，将现有的更新代理复制到备份部分。在随后的重新启动中，除非确定它已被破坏或无效，否则将使用新的更新代理，在这种情况下，旧的更新代理将重新激活。

摘要： Disclosed herein is an electronic device capable of providing efficient fault-tolerance update processes by employing a backup memory block used in conjunction with a block-by-block update process, wherein the backup memory block may be employed to store backup content computed using updated contents of a first memory block and contents of unmodified second memory block. The first and second memory blocks may be recoverable following a fault by computations using the content of the backup memory block. Fault-tolerant recovery processes according to an embodiment of the present invention apply the contents of the backup memory block to efficiently recover from faults occurring during update of one of firmware and software in an electronic device.

摘要： A network for updating firmware, drivers, or application software facilitates the access to generated update packages by electronic devices and the update of firmware, drivers, content or application software in a fault tolerant mode. A “Bubbles” technique is employed to generate efficient and compact update packages. A “Bubbles” information is generated employing the “Bubbles” technique that is subsequently sent to the electronic devices as part of an update package. The “Bubbles” information and other related information is used in preprocessing activities and in other update related activities. For example, they are used to prepare the electronic device for an update to a different version of its firmware, software and/or content.

摘要： A linker profiler tool facilitates maintenance and management of object ordering between releases of firmware. By maintaining object ordering, code differences between firmware builds are reduced, which reduces the size of a package of update information used to update an electronic device from one version of firmware to another. Information used by an object code linker in a firmware build activity is processed to minimize changes in code object ordering between builds. The impact on the size of the update information caused by updates to firmware/software component in the build is thereby reduced to a minimum.
摘要翻译：链接器分析器工具有助于维护和管理固件版本之间的对象排序。通过维护对象排序，减少了固件构建之间的代码差异，这减少了用于将电子设备从一个版本的固件更新到另一个版本的更新信息包的大小。处理固件构建活动中对象代码链接器使用的信息，以最小化构建之间的代码对象排序的变化。因此，由构建中的固件/软件组件的更新引起的对更新信息的大小的影响被降低到最小。

摘要： A system for generating efficient and compact update packages makes it possible to process a source binary image of software/firmware for an electronic device and a target binary image in order to generate a compact update package. It generates bubbles information that is optionally packaged with the generated update package. Together, the bubbles information and the update package, when delivered to an electronic device, facilitate the upgrade of the electronic device to a new or different version. The system for generating efficient and compact update packages selectively employs residue generation/computation and entropy computation, in addition to other techniques, in order to make the update package more compact.

摘要： An electronic device network including a plurality of electronic devices. The electronic devices may each have updating software adapted to update firmware/software resident in the electronic devices. The electronic devices may also employ additional software for updating the updating software in the electronic devices. The electronic devices may also have software adapted to determine whether a current version of the updating software is to be invoked or whether a previous backup version of the updating software is to be invoked. The determination may be made based upon status information resident in a update status indicator. The status information may indicate that an update upon the updating software is to be conducted, rather than a normal startup operation without performing any updates. The network may also include an update generator adapted to generate updates for use in updating the updating software in the electronic devices.
