Abstract
An electronic device is configured to support at least two configurations, one of the configurations being installed. The device includes a memory. In a limited-access region of the memory, a binary word is stored. That binary word has: a first value representative of the version of the installed configuration; and at least one second value indicating which configurations can be installed. A method of configuration of the electronic device includes determining, according to the second value, whether the configuration which attempts to be installed is permitted.
