Updating firmware for charging device

摘要

A charging device may include a computer plug, outlet plug, AC-to-DC converter, controller, and memory. The computer plug may provide power to a computing device and receive data from the computing device. The outlet plug may receive alternating current (AC) power from an electrical outlet. The AC-to-DC converter may convert the AC power into direct current (DC) power and provide the DC power to the computing device via the computer plug. The controller may control a voltage and/or current of the DC power based on data received from the computing device and instructions stored in a memory. The memory may include read-only instructions for the controller to modify a read-write portion of the memory based on data received from the computing device via the computer plug, and read-write instructions for the controller to set the voltage of the DC power based on the data received from the computing device.
