  • Method for increasing the number of applications in a device having a limited memory
    Patent number: 11886706
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a device, of a control signal identifying a first application from among a plurality of compressed applications stored in a non-volatile memory of the device. The first application is stored in a first location of the non-volatile memory. The device decompresses the first application. The decompressing includes storing the decompressed first application into the non-volatile memory at least partially into the first location, and into a second location storing a second compressed application among the plurality of applications. The decompressed first application overwriting at least a portion of the second compressed application. The method may be performed as part of a customization process of an integrated circuit including the non-volatile memory.
