Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are provided for updating a code image. The apparatus, system, and method include a loader for loading a new code image into a temporary memory location separate from the memory location occupied by the old code image. A conversion module of the new code image executes and selectively reconciles incompatibilities between the old code image and the new code image. In one aspect, once incompatibilities are reconciled, a copy module copies the new code image into the memory space occupied by the old code image.
