Abstract

This application is directed to managing firmware control data stored in a memory device of an electronic device. The electronic device obtains a current data descriptor map (DDM) corresponding to a current version of a firmware program, and identifies, in the memory device, a prior DDM and a prior control data structure corresponding to a prior version of the firmware program. Each of the prior and current DDMs maps a plurality of data descriptors to a plurality of locations in a respective control data structure. The prior control data structure stores a plurality of prior control data items identified by a plurality of prior data descriptors. A current control data structure is automatically generated for the current version of the firmware program based on the prior control data structure, the current DDM, and the prior DDM, and stores a plurality of current control data items identified by the data descriptors.
