Method of operating a control device by a programmable storage/memory device e.g. for motor vehicle

摘要

The method involves, in addition to writing the control function programs and control function data into defined locations in the memory device, simultaneously writing in self-control data not related to the control function programs and control function data. The controller is operated depending on whether the self-control data are stored in the defined locations. The memory device is divided into separate sectors (100,200,300,400) which can only be cleared as a unit. Each sector receives self-control data on being written to.
