Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: an access port; an interface coupled to the access port; a non-volatile memory configured to store data, the memory having a read-only partition; a controller coupled to the interface and the non-volatile memory, the controller configured to change an attribute of the read-only partition from read-only to read/write responsive, at least in part, to opening the read-only partition to writing, the controller further configured to determine a size of the read-only partition and a size of data to be written to the read-only partition and execute a resizing command to resize the read-only partition if the controller determines that the size of data to be written to the read-only partition exceeds the size of the read-only partition; and an integrated circuit device coupled to the interface and configured to provide a command to the controller to open the read-only partition to writing.
