Abstract

A microprocessor based system automatically detects the occurrence of certain conditions in the microprocessor. The conditions may include a determination of data corruption in the microprocessor. If a determination is made that data is corrupted, the microprocessor may be reloaded from a non-volatile memory. During a reload, a microcontroller controls the microprocessor. The non-volatile memory may be a flash memory or non-volatile random access memory.
