Abstract
Flash peripheral device may include a kernel in logical communication with a bootloader where the kernel, when initialized, is adapted to upload in at least one hardware controller via the bootloader. Flash peripheral device may also include at least one firmware protocol in logical communication with the kernel and configured to initialize at least one hardware driver of the at least one hardware controller. Flash peripheral device may also include an operation application in logical communication with the kernel and provided with a legacy set of instructions and at least one updated set of instructions. The operation application executes and runs the at least one updated set of instructions when the at least one updated set of instructions is flashed to the operation application or executes and runs the legacy set of instructions when the at least one updated set of instructions fails to be flashed to the operation application.
