Abstract
A system is provided including a host processing system and a remote management module coupled to it. The host processing system is configured to receive an update package. The remote management module is configured to determine one or more modified files from the update package and update its current embedded system by replacing, with the one or more modified files, only those files associated with the current embedded system that correspond to the one or more modified files.
