Abstract

Methods of updating an electronic device (107) having an update agent (113) employing preprocessing techniques is disclosed. The methods described permit an electronic device having a non-volatile memory (109, 209) to update a plurality banks in an efficient manner, by preprocessing (115) the original contents of the non-volatile memory (109). The preprocessing may comprise shifting one or more banks before performing an update, so as to create a moving, unoccupied bank or bubble (213) into which the updated version of a bank may be stored. An embodiment of the present invention provides a reduction in the processing of the original memory contents, and extends the life of the non-volatile memory devices used.
