Abstract
Systems and methods for incrementally updating a first image in flash memory of a device by downloading a differences file that identifies differences between the first image and a second image and applying the differences file to the first image to create the second image in the flash memory. The updating is performed incrementally by writing portions of the second image to the flash memory, each portion being of a standard block size acceptable for writing to the flash memory.
