ABSTRACT:
A method, system and apparatus for executing a boot loader for an embedded system including a system-on-chip (SOC) processor coupled to a memory including first boot loader code for implementing a first boot loader stored in a first sector and second boot loader code for implementing a second boot loader stored in a second sector determines which of the first boot loader code and second boot loader code is younger; if the second boot loader code is determined to be younger than the first boot loader code, a swapping operation is performed so that the second boot loader code is associated with the first sector and the first boot loader code is associated with a different sector, and the boot loader code associated with the first sector is executed.
