Abstract
A program different than an operation system may be utilized to partially update an original image of system code. In one embodiment, operating system code may be adaptively stored and updated within a non-volatile storage device across at least two different memories into at least two code objects based on the relative utilization of the system code in the two code objects. Operating system patching or application and driver updates may be provided without re-writing an entire image of operating system code in some embodiments. The tuning of operating system code storage may be implemented based on a usage pattern of the operating system code on a device in some cases.
