Abstract
A network-connected device, and methods for executing operating programs stored in a RAM-based file storage system, where the network-connected device includes a bootloader configured to be executed during a boot of the network-connected device. When executed, the bootloader causes the network-connected device to connect to an external computing device via a network, and to download an operating program. The network-connected device then stores the operating program in a RAM-based file storage system that is located in a simulated disk drive that resides in the RAM memory, and executes the operating program from within the RAM-based file storage system. In some embodiments, the network-connected device also is configured to store configuration files in the RAM-based file storage system, make changes to the configuration files stored in the RAM-based file storage system, and synchronize those changes with a remote persistent file store hosted by an external computing device.
