Abstract
In a method of updating program code in an external non-volatile memory, updated program code is received at an Application Specific Integrated Circuitry (ASIC). The updated program code is received from a host device. The updated program code is stored in a volatile memory of the ASIC. The ASIC performs operations. The updated program code is copied from the volatile memory to a non-volatile memory while performing the operations. The non-volatile memory is located external to the ASIC.
