ABSTRACT:
This disclosure provides a system and method for updating a control system using an encrypted source code update. The example control system often includes a processor for managing at least a portion of the control system and flash memory communicably coupled with the processor, with the processor operable to load an encrypted update into the flash memory. In one example, a method for updating the control system would include identifying an update for a control system with the update comprising encrypted object code and the control system comprising at least a first processor. At least the first processor is then updated based on or using the identified update.
