Abstract
An example method of updating firmware includes receiving a memory map of a memory. The method also includes determining, based on the memory map, a set of memory regions storing a bundle of drivers in the memory, the bundle of drivers residing in firmware and being in an executable format. The method further includes for one or more drivers in the bundle of drivers (i) building, based on the memory map, a header that describes the respective driver, and (ii) creating an object file including the header and the respective driver, where the object file is in the executable format. The method also includes storing one or more of the object files in non-volatile memory.
