ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an electronic device network including a plurality of electronic devices. The electronic devices may each have software adapted to update firmware/software resident in the electronic device in compressed form. The software adapted to update firmware/software may also be adapted to employ the decompressed firmware/software components in conjunction with additional update information in performing an update on the electronic devices. An update generator in the electronic device network may be adapted to employ compression and decompression techniques upon generated updates for use in updating the electronic devices. The update generator may also be adapted to generate update packages using the decompressed update information. The update generator may also be adapted to selectively compress the generated update packages usable for updating the electronic devices prior to the update package being transmitted to eth electronic device.
