Abstract
A host communicates a firmware module to an electronic device utilizing a data communication interface (e.g., IC). The host may also communicate a set of values representing information associated with execution of the firmware module to the electronic device. The host may utilize commands and/or flags to execute the firmware module at the electronic device. The electronic device executes the firmware module without resetting/suspending an ongoing execution of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device collects data upon execution of the firmware module. The collected data may be stored to a particular location of the electronic device and retrieved later by the host, or returned directly to the host.
