  • Efficiently delivering firmware to be installed in a plurality of remotely located engine-control computers
    Patent number: 12039051
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to delivering firmware to be installed in a plurality of remotely located engine-control computers in an efficient manner. Local-area-network connection is provided to an engine-control computer configuration device (ECC configuration device) via a mobile firmware delivery system. Cellular internet connection is also provided to the ECC configuration device via a mobile firmware delivery system. The ECC configuration device makes a request of the mobile firmware delivery system to download a firmware file. The mobile firmware delivery system downloads the firmware file requested if the firmware file requested is not stored in a cache memory. Instead of downloading the firmware file, the mobile firmware delivery system provides the firmware file stored in the cache memory if it is found to be stored there.
