ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a system for downloading software with a module, which includes a control circuit and a storage device for storing software, and with a loading device for delivering software to the module whose control circuit is arranged to download software to be stored in the storage device in response to an appropriate instruction. The software comprises system software, at least consisting of operating system software and downloading software, and application software for controlling at least one component coupled to the module. A first part of the storage device is arranged to store the system software and a second part of the storage device is arranged to store the application software. During the downloading of system software, the control circuit is arranged to erase the first part of the storage device, after storage of the new system software in the second part of the storage device, and to transfer subsequently the new system software from the second to the first part of the storage device.
