Abstract
An electronic device having an alterable configuration and methods of manufacturing and configuring the same are provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory stores a boot ROM and can store a first operating system in a first operating system partition and a second operating system in a second operating system partition. The processor executes the boot ROM, which boots the first operating system if available in the non-volatile memory, and boots the second operating system if the first operating system is unavailable in the non-volatile memory when the electronic device is powered up.
