Abstract: An electronic device and a code patching method are provided. The electronic device includes a processor, a read-only memory (ROM), and a one-time programmable (OTP) memory. The ROM stores a boot code, and the boot code includes at least one checkpoint code segment. The OTP memory stores at least one patch code. The processor executes the boot code and queries whether there is a corresponding patch code in the OTP memory when the checkpoint code segment is executed, and if yes, executes the corresponding patch code.

Abstract: An embedded electronic device, a boot method, and an electronic device readable recording medium with a stored program are provided. A processor in the embedded electronic device executes a plurality of stage boot procedures after the embedded electronic device is powered on. Each of the stage boot procedures includes: executing current-stage boot firmware; reading a test request message and a firmware location message from a first memory; loading next-stage boot firmware according to the firmware location message in response to the test request message being a current-stage request; and updating the test request message to a next-stage request and updating the firmware location message to a next boot firmware location when the loading of the next-stage boot firmware succeeds, or otherwise, updating the test request message to a failure message and soft rebooting the embedded electronic device.

Abstract: A method of operation of a network communication system includes: analyzing a packet header by: loading a packet input register, generating a forwarding hash from the packet input register, and identifying a routing update by comparing the forwarding hash; accessing a packet analysis bus for updating the packet header; and enabling a routing switch for forwarding a packet including the packet header updated.
