Abstract

Apparatus and methods for updating binary images are described. A computing device can determine transfers for updating a binary source image to become a binary target image. A transfer can include a source memory reference for the source image and a target memory reference for the target image. The computing device can determine a graph based on ordering dependencies between the transfers. The graph can include vertices for the transfers with edges between vertices. The computing device can generate an edge from a first vertex for a first transfer to a second vertex for a second transfer, with the first transfer to be performed before the second transfer. The computing device can break any cycles present in the graph to obtain an acyclic graph. The computing device can order the transfers based on the acyclic graph and send the ordered transfers in an update package for the source image.
