Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for downloading and installing software updates upon an irrigation control unit (ICU). Some of the disclosed embodiments include error checking and integrity verification procedures which help ensure that the new software is properly installed. In some embodiments the update is coordinated in conjunction with the ICU's regular contact with a control server.

Claim (Index 1):
An irrigation control unit (ICU), comprising:\n at least one interface configured to control a water distribution element; at least one processor; a first non-volatile memory; and a second non-volatile memory comprising instructions executable by the at least one processor to:\n receive a message from a server indicating a quantity of data blocks to expect from the server; \n receive a data block and a first error code from the server; \n confirm an integrity of the data block based upon the first error code; \n store the data block in the first non-volatile memory; \n continue to receive additional data blocks from the server and store the additional data blocks in the first non-volatile memory until the expected quantity of data blocks have been received and stored in the first non-volatile memory; \n transfer the contents of the first non-volatile memory to the second non-volatile memory; and \n execute, by a boot sector of the ICU, a program using the contents in the second non-volatile memory.
