Abstract
Devices and techniques that provide a virtual slot for firmware images are described herein. A device includes a controller configured to execute a firmware image; erasable programmable read-only memory to store firmware images; and memory including instructions, which when executed by the controller, cause the controller to: store a temporary firmware image into a firmware memory, the temporary firmware image to be used in place of a current firmware image; receive a parameter to control the use of the temporary firmware image, the parameter defining a condition; store the parameter in the local memory; activate the temporary firmware image in the virtual firmware slot; and use the temporary firmware image until the condition is satisfied, and then revert to the current firmware image.
