Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for efficient over-the-air updating of firmware having compressed and uncompressed segments. The method includes receiving a first update to the firmware via a radio, wherein the first update includes a first uncompressed segment and a first compressed segment, receiving a second update to the firmware, wherein the second update corresponds to the first compressed segment, compressing the second update to generate a compressed second update, applying the first update to the firmware, and applying the compressed second update to the firmware to generate an updated firmware.
