ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an electronic device network. The network may include a plurality of servers and a plurality of an electronic devices communicatively coupled to at least one of the plurality of servers. The electronic device may be adapted to employ at least one of a plurality of update agents resident in the electronic devices to update one of software and firmware in the electronic devices. The electronic devices may also be adapted to provisioning the plurality of update agents with parameters and data used to facilitate update operations in the electronic device. The electronic device may support multiple update agents that are provisioned using OTASP or OTAPA or related techniques. During the provisioning of an electronic device, one or more update agents resident in the electronic device may also be provisioned.
