Abstract

A System and Method for Updating Software in a Vehicle is provided. Software in a vehicle may, at times, be subject to update. In this regard, a server may send the update software to one or more electronic devices in the vehicle. The server may receive the capabilities of the electronic devices in the vehicle, such as the memory, computational, security capabilities, or the like, and tailor the sending of the software update based on the capabilities of the electronic devices. For example, the division of the software update, the sections of memory from which to determine the delta, the compression schemes, and/or where certain functions (such as where decryption occurs) may be dependent on the capabilities of the electronic devices in the vehicle.
