Abstract: A method for delivering an update manifest and an update payload to a target device, the method comprising: receiving, at the target device, security credentials for the target device, the target device being configured to receive the update manifest and the update payload via a remote connection interface using the security credentials; receiving, at the target device, the update manifest from a host device via a local connection interface; and applying, at the target device, the update payload in accordance with the update manifest.

Abstract: A non-volatile mass storage device is provided comprising memory circuitry accessible to a host data processing device via a communication link. The non-volatile mass storage device comprises processing circuitry for locally accessing the memory circuitry of the file system and is capable of triggering generation of a file for storage on the memory circuitry by connection of the non-volatile mass storage device to the host data processing device. The generated file comprises information dependent upon a state of the non-volatile mass storage device. A corresponding method of operating a non-volatile mass storage device is provided and a computer program is provided for obtaining the information dependent upon the state of the non-volatile mass storage device, for locally accessing the memory circuitry and for generating the file for storage on the memory circuitry.

Abstract: A programmer 10 for a target device 16 is provided with a mass storage interface 12 for connecting to a host 2 so as to appear as a mass storage device to the host 2. A target programmer 18 is responsive to an image transferred from the host 2 to the programmer 10 to apply that image to the target device 16.
