Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, software may be downloaded to an end point, even when that said end point is not fully functional. An indication that software is available for distribution may be stored in a dedicated location within a non-volatile memory. That location may be checked for software to download, for example, on each boot up. The software may then be downloaded and verified. Thereafter, the location is marked to indicate that the software has already been downloaded.
