Abstract

The subject disclosure relates to techniques for updating a bootloader on a embedded device. In some aspects, a process of the disclosed technology can include steps for calculating a digest for an existing bootloader stored on the bootloader memory, determining if the digest for the existing bootloader matches a digest for a target bootloader, and copying the target bootloader to the bootloader memory, if the digest for the existing bootloader does not match the digest for the target bootloader. Systems and computer-readable media are also provided.
