Patent ID: 8255108

Claim:
A diagnostic tool for accessing user configuration data and retrieving vehicle diagnostic data for read/write mode and storage, the diagnostic tool comprising: a processor to process vehicle diagnostic data; a first non-volatile memory coupled with the processor for storing data, the first non-volatile memory being configured such that the data is stored as continuously arranged data, wherein the first non-volatile memory is without a file system; a second non-volatile memory having at least one application, an operating system, and a first file system stored thereon in read-only mode to reduce boot time, wherein the operating system is configured to dynamically create a second file system; and a main memory coupled with the processor for access and transfer of the data between the main memory and the first non-volatile memory, the main memory being configured such that continuously arranged data can be accessed from the first non-volatile memory and stored in the main memory as read/write data, the main memory being further configured such that the read/write data can be transferred from the main memory to the first non-volatile memory for storage as continuously arranged data, wherein the main memory includes RAM and the second file system, the second file system being configured for accessing the continuously arranged data from the first non-volatile memory and storing the data as read/write data in the main memory.
