LOADING REMOTE BINARIES ONTO A WRITE-PROTECTED DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, at an embedded computing device that executes a write-protected firmware build, a binary library overload instruction that specifies a write-protected binary library of the write-protected firmware build to be overloaded by execution of an alternative binary library instead of the write-protected binary library of the write-protected firmware build;
configuring, within a random access memory (RAM) storage area, the alternative binary library to execute instead of the write-protected binary library as specified in the received binary library overload instruction; and
executing the write-protected firmware build using the alternative binary library instead of the write-protected binary library specified in the binary library overload instruction.

Abstract
A binary library overload instruction is received at an embedded computing device that executes a write-protected firmware build. The binary library overload instruction specifies a write-protected binary library of the write-protected firmware build to be overloaded by execution of an alternative binary library instead of the write-protected binary library of the write-protected firmware build. The alternative binary library is configured within a random access memory (RAM) storage area to execute instead of the write-protected binary library as specified in the received binary library overload instruction. The write-protected firmware build is executed using the alternative binary library instead of the write-protected binary library specified in the binary library overload instruction.
