GENERATING INCREMENTAL PROGRAM UPDATES

摘要

A method of generating a delta file, the delta file including update instructions for causing a target processing device to transform a current memory image module into an updated memory image module. The method comprises: incorporating a parametric representation of a first memory address in the delta file, the parametric representation being parametric with respect to at least one parameter; and incorporating parameter resolution instructions in the delta file, wherein the parameter resolution instructions are adapted to cause the target processing device to determine a value of said at least one parameter and to determine an address value of the first memory address from the parametric representation and the determined value of said at least one parameter.
