Abstract

Techniques for updating code of a device may be described. In an example, bus may connect the device to a management entity. The device may run a first version of the code. A second version of the code may be available from memory. The device may access the second version from the memory, stop running the first version of the code, and start running the second version of the code without restarting the management entity or the device.
