1. A system comprising
a processor;
a device interface;a nonvolatile storage medium coupled to the processor, the nonvolatile storage medium including a stored application image;a data relay transceiver; anda memory coupled to the processor, wherein:
the memory includes at least a shared memory space, a boot portion, and an address portion;the boot portion includes code that when executed by the processor may modify the application portion, wherein:
the boot portion includes a boot startup executable code, a boot main executable code, and a boot interrupt service routine code; andthe application portion includes an initial application image comprising application startup executable code, an application main executable code, and an application interrupt service routine code; andthe memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: execute code within the boot main executable code to determine that the initial application image requires updating; retrieve the stored application image from the nonvolatile memory; overlay the application portion with the retrieved application image; and transfer execution control from the boot main executable code to the overlaid application startup code in the application portion.
