1. A computing system comprising:

  • a device controller;

    an interface bridge module communicatively coupled to the device controller and configured to provide bridge functionality;

    a primary communication interface conforming to a first communication standard and communicatively coupled to the interface bridge module;

    a first non-volatile memory module communicatively coupled to the interface bridge module, the first non-volatile memory module storing first stage boot loader code;

    a second non-volatile memory module separate from the first non-volatile memory module and communicatively coupled to the device controller; and

    a secondary communication interface conforming to a second communication standard and communicatively coupled to the device controller;

    wherein the device controller is configured to, while the interface bridge module is held in reset;

    receive update package data over the secondary communication interface, the update package data including a firmware image; and

    write the update package data to the second non-volatile memory module.
