Abstract
According to one aspect, a method adds an additional function to a computer program installed on a microcontroller, the computer program using a table configured to associate an identifier of the additional function with a pointer to a memory address. The method includes the microcontroller obtaining a compiled code of the additional function and an identifier of this additional function, the microcontroller recording the compiled code of the additional function in a section of a memory, and recording in memory a pointer in the table, the pointer being aimed at the address of the memory section in which the compiled code of the additional function is recorded, the pointer being associated in the table with the identifier of the additional function.
