Abstract
A method (300, 400) to provide for provisioning and a product. In one embodiment a processor (210) receives a pre-configured data image and writes it to a first area (221) of non-volatile memory (220) using, for example a first writing mode. Thereafter, for example after a power cycle the processor (210) determines whether an update to a second area of the non-volatile memory is required, and if so converts a first data item from the first area into a second data item uniquely associated with the product unit and writes the second data item in a second area (222) using a second writing mode.
Claims25
A method for provisioning a product unit having a non-volatile storage medium, the method comprising:
- reading at least a first data item of a pre-configured data image from a first area of the non-volatile storage medium;
- converting the at least first data item to form a second data item uniquely associated with the product unit;
- and
- storing the second data item to a second area of the non-volatile storage medium using a first writing mode to control functionality of the product unit.
A method for provisioning a product unit having a non-volatile storage medium, the method comprising:
- reading a flag in a first area of the non-volatile storage medium to determine whether an update of a second area of the non-volatile storage medium has been performed;
- and
- converting, if the update has not been performed, a first data item from the first area into a second data item uniquely associated with the product unit and writing the second data item in the second area of the non-volatile storage medium using a second writing mode.
A product unit arranged and constructed for provisioning, the product unit comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-volatile memory coupled to the processor, the non-volatile memory having a first area and a second area, the processor configured to:
- check a flag associated with a pre-configured data image stored in the first area to determine whether an update to the second area of the non-volatile memory is required, and
- when an update is required, convert a first data item from the first area into a second data item uniquely associated with the product unit and write the second data item in the second area of the non-volatile storage using a second writing mode.
