Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an assembly for writing software and/or firmware onto at least one programmable integrated circuit. According to the invention, the software and/or firmware is written wirelessly by means of RFID data transmission, the at least one programmable integrated circuit being coupled to an RFID front end by means of a wired near-field interface, the RFID front end having an RFID antenna device, and the software and/or firmware to be written being sent wirelessly from an external RFID unit to the RFID antenna device and being written onto the programmable integrated circuit by means of the RFID front end and the near-field interface.
