A data processing system includes a boot read only memory (ROM) configured to store boot code; one time programmable (OTP) storage circuitry configured to store patch instructions; a random access memory (RAM); and a processor coupled to the boot ROM, the OTP storage circuitry, and the RAM. The processor is configured to: in response to a reset of the data processing system, copy one or more patch instructions from the OTP storage circuitry into the RAM, and during execution of the boot code, execute a patch instruction from the RAM in place of a boot instruction of the boot code.
