Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media can operate to protect against non-functional software updates. Some implementations can provide for storing both a new load and a previous load in non-volatile memory of a customer premise equipment (CPE) device. After storing both loads, a software update can be applied to the CPE device, the software update comprising the new load to be used as a primary load replacing the previous load used by the CPE device. The device can then be rebooted using the new load as the primary load and a determination can be made whether the CPE device is operating correctly using the new load as the primary load. If the CPE device fails to operate correctly using the new load as the primary load, the CPE device can revert to the previous load as the primary load.
