Abstract

A networked embedded backbone system (12, 14, 16) integrates three techniques to make the system better than traditional standalone EPROM-based embedded systems. The first technique is remote booting of operating system onto the embedded systems from a central server (18). Once the operating system is booted, the application software on the embedded systems may then be pushed from a central server. A generic central control communication software layer is provided for application software on each embedded system to communicate with the central server or other embedded modules on the network.
