Abstract
A method and system for code storage using volatile memory are disclosed. In a first aspect, the method comprises providing a system on a chip (SOC) that includes at least one volatile memory. The method includes coupling a portable power source to the SOC, wherein the portable power source powers the at least one volatile memory with minimal leakage. The method includes storing updatable code on the at least one volatile memory. In a second aspect, the system comprises a system on a chip (SOC) and at least a Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) coupled to the SOC with updatable code stored therein. The system includes a portable power source coupled to the SOC, wherein the portable power source powers the SRAM with minimal leakage.
Claims19
A method for code storage using volatile memory, the method comprising:
- providing a system on a chip (SOC), wherein the SOC includes at least one volatile memory;
- coupling a portable power source to the SOC, wherein the portable power source powers the at least one volatile memory with minimal leakage;
- and
- storing updatable code on the at least one volatile memory, wherein the at least one volatile memory is the only type of memory used to update the updatable code.
A wireless sensor device, the wireless sensor device comprising:
- a system on a chip (SOC);
- at least one Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) coupled to the SOC with updatable code stored therein, wherein the SRAM is the only type of memory used to update the updatable code;
- and
- a portable power source coupled to the SOC, wherein the portable power source powers the SRAM with minimal leakage.
