  • Publication number: 20200336407
    Abstract: Example embodiments of systems, devices, and methods are described for communication in an analyte monitoring system in accordance with an applicable communication protocol. A first device of the system may transmit a command to a second device of the system and the second device may encounter a processing delay in preparing data responsive to the command. The second device may transmit dummy data to the first device in order to maintain compliance with the communication protocol until such time that the second device is ready to transmit data responsive to the command. Numerous different embodiments for incorporating and/or accommodating the presence of dummy data in a communication hierarchy are provided.

  • Publication number: 20190129835
    Abstract: An application program stored in a ROM includes a function lookup data structure in which functions called by the application program have identifiers and memory addresses at which the function is located and can be executed. Upon startup, the function lookup data structure is copied to a RAM as a revised lookup data structure and is compared to a revision lookup data structure also written to that RAM or elsewhere. If the revision lookup data structure contains replacement functions having the same function identifiers but new memory addresses, these new memory addresses are written over the existing addresses in the revised lookup data structure for those replacement functions. The application program refers to the revised lookup data structure to find and execute the functions; thus the original application program on the ROM can continue to be used with revised functions.
