Abstract
Techniques for distributing updated executable instructions for machine controller systems may be described herein. For example, a machine controller system may initiate or execute into a boot-loader environment, in response to a first boot cycle, that is configured to communicate with a server computer and receive one or more portions of code. The one or more portions of code may be received and compiled into executable instructions which may be updated executable instructions for the machine controller system. The updated executable instructions may be stored in the external memory of the machine controller system thereby overwriting any previously stored executable instructions. A pointer file of the external memory may be updated to re-direct to the updated executable instructions which may be applied to the machine controller system in response to a second boot cycle of the machine controller system.
