发明名称 Communicating With An Update Logic Image
摘要 A memory medium includes one or more binary images and an update logic image. The memory medium selectively updates binary images having contiguous memory sectors erased before being rewritten. The update logic image includes instructions for determining whether an updating operation is to be performed and determining memory addresses of the memory medium at which a corresponding replacement image can be recorded. The instructions are also for erasing the determined memory addresses and writing the replacement image to the determined memory addresses.

主权项 1. A memory medium for selectively updating, with corresponding replacement images, any combination of images of a plurality of binary images recorded on the memory medium having a plurality of contiguous memory sectors that are erased before being rewritten, the memory medium comprising: one or more binary images recorded on the memory medium; and an update logic image recorded on the memory medium, the update logic image comprising: instructions for execution by a computer system, wherein the instructions, when executed by the computer system, cause the computer system to implement a method comprising:determining whether an updating operation is to be performed;determining memory addresses of the memory medium at which a corresponding replacement image can be recorded;erasing the determined memory addresses; andwriting the corresponding replacement image to the determined memory addresses of the memory medium,wherein the one or more binary images comprise: at least one kernel image,at least one file-system image,a boot-loader image, anda scratch area image,wherein the boot-loader image and the update logic image are recorded at different ends of a first predetermined portion of the memory medium at the start of the memory medium, wherein the scratch area image is recorded directly following the predetermined portion of the memory medium, and wherein the kernel image and the file system image are recorded at different ends of a second predetermined portion of the memory medium, following the scratch area image.
