Abstract
A firmware update procedure for an accessory component may use a process that stages the firmware update in a separate component from the target accessory component being updated to reduce the memory requirements in the accessory component. Security measures can be used to prevent malicious users from accessing the firmware update while stored in the staging device prior to overwrite of firmware memory in the accessory component. These security measures can include public-private key signing and cryptographic hash calculations.
