Abstract: An information processing device includes: a timing controller; a system device; and a display panel. The system device operates in accordance with at least a first operating system (OS) and a second OS, and outputs first original image data from the first OS and second original image data from the second OS to the timing controller. The display panel includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a predetermined display area. The timing controller includes: a memory; a writing unit; and a reading unit. The memory has a storage area associated with the display area. The writing unit stores the first original image data in a first individual storage area assigned to the first OS in the storage area, and stores the second original image data in a second individual storage area assigned to the second OS in the storage area. The reading unit reads image data stored in the storage area, frame by frame, and outputs the image data to the display panel.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating firmware in a target device are disclosed. A system may include a source device, a target device, and a standardized bidirectional communication path coupling the source device to the target device. The source device is operable to verify that the target device is capable of receiving a firmware update from the source device via the standardized bidirectional communication path and communicate the firmware update to the verified target device via the standardized bidirectional communication path. The target device is operable to receive the firmware update from the source device via the standardized bidirectional communication path and perform the firmware update in the target device. The source device is further operable to validate the completion of the firmware update in the target device via the standardized bidirectional communication path.
