Abstract:
1. A method of upgrading with a new encapsulated semiconductor module an electronic device including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied therein software, the method comprising: operatively connecting the new encapsulated semiconductor module to a memory interface of the electronic device, wherein the new encapsulated semiconductor module includes non-volatile memory, wherein the new encapsulated semiconductor module has saved therein before being operatively connected to the memory interface of the electronic device a program having code to be used to generate command sequences for updating the software embodied in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium of the electronic device, and wherein the memory interface is configured to communicate with the non-transitory computer readable storage medium of the electronic device; reading, by the memory interface, the program code of the new encapsulated semiconductor module; generating command sequences, by the memory interface, using the program code read from the new encapsulated semiconductor module; and updating by the memory interface, based upon the generated command sequences, the software embodied in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium of the electronic device.
