  • Patent number: 11636716
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for wirelessly updating electronic control unit configuration can include determining operation parameters to be changed of an electronic control unit of an equipment, and generating a write package including the operating parameters to be changed. The systems, apparatuses, and methods include transmitting the write package to the equipment. The write package causes the electronic control unit to change the operation parameters upon verifying that the operation parameters are applicable to the equipment based on values of the parameters. In response to determining that the operation parameters are not applicable to the equipment, the write package can be discarded.
