Patent ID: 7325044

Claim:
A method for setting up a program-controlled circuit arrangement with a processor unit, an assigned non-volatile start procedure memory and an interface for connection to a data transmission network, whereby the processor unit is set up in such a way that, after being switched on, it executes a start procedure stored in the start procedure memory, wherein a start procedure is stored in the start procedure memory, wherein the start procedure is set up in such a way that during its execution the processor unit connects up by means of the interface to an operating program server and from this loads operating program instructions into a main memory assigned to the processor unit; wherein the start procedure is set up in such a way that during its execution the processor unit loads and executes a download procedure from a non-volatile download procedure memory into the main memory, and the download procedure is set up in such a way that during its execution the processor unit connects up by means of the interface to the operating program server and from this loads operating program instructions into the main memory assigned to the processor unit; and wherein the main memory storing the download procedure is separate from the start procedure memory but part of the programmed-controlled circuit.
