SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INSTALLING UPGRADED SOFTWARE ON ELECTRONIC DEVICES

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for upgrading electronic devices are provided. An exemplary method executed by a hardware processor may comprise providing a management agent on an electronic device for communicating with one or more device drivers associated with the electronic device. The management agent may be installed, for example, using a downloaded upgrade package. The method may further comprise upgrading the one or more device drivers to enable a direct connection between the management agent and the one or more device drivers. This direct connection, in some embodiments, may enable the management agent to access, using the one or more device drivers, persistent storage associated with the electronic device. The method may further comprise providing a new boot loader to the management agent, and overwriting, by the management agent, an existing boot loader in the persistent storage with the received new boot loader, using the one or more device drivers.
