System and method for configuring a portable device. The portable device includes a serial bus hub, one or more processors coupled to the serial bus hub via a serial bus, and a flash memory coupled to the serial bus hub via the serial bus. A degraded signal is received to a serial bus hub included in the portable device via a serial bus, where the degraded signal includes code to be written to the flash memory to initialize or update firmware for the portable device. The serial bus hub restores the degraded signal, thereby generating a restored signal, and sends the restored signal to at least one of the one or more processors to initialize or update the firmware in the flash memory for the portable device.
