The memory includes a first memory block for storing non-programmable code used for performing key functions, and second and third memory blocks for storing programmable code used for performing normal functions. During operation, one of the second and third memory blocks in which the programmable code is being executed is an active memory block. After receiving new programmable code, the processor identifies the inactive memory block, stores the new programmable code therein, and switches to execute the new programmable code while continuing to perform the key functions using the non-programmable code."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"System and method for updating firmware in real-time","description":"A system controlled by firmware includes a memory and a processor.
