Abstract
Described is an apparatus for supporting Over-The-Air Hardware Updates comprising a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to be fastened and electrically coupled in one or more regions to one or more respectively corresponding semiconductor dies. The second circuitry may be operable to configure the one or more regions of the first circuitry. The third circuitry may be operable to provide a set of wirelessly-received configuration instructions to the second circuitry.
Claims21
