Rfid-based device wireless updates

A method, comprising:

• powering-up a device when a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag of the device enables an interrupt line to power the device on;
• determining from an update enable flag stored in memory of the RFID tag that a device software update to device software is available;
• obtaining wireless network connection information stored in the memory of the RFID tag effective to configure a wireless radio system of the device for communication via a wireless network;
• obtaining a file location of the device software update from the memory of the RFID tag;
• and
• downloading the device software update from the file location via the wireless network.

A device, comprising:

• a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag to receive a power-up command from a RFID reader and enable an interrupt line that powers-up the device;
• a processing system to execute a bootloader application implemented to:
• determine that a device software update is available;
• obtain wireless network connection information stored in memory of the RFID tag effective to configure a wireless radio system of the device for communication via a wireless network;
• obtain a file location of the device software update from the memory of the RFID tag;
• and
• download the device software update from the file location via the wireless network.
