Abstract:
Architecture for updating corrupted instructions in a computing device. The computing device includes a housing (500) for enclosing a flash memory (418) for storing a boot loader routine, and at least one boundary-scan device (50 8) internal to the computing device for processing the boot loader routine, and operatively disposed on a boundary-scan bus. The housing includes a boundary - scan port through which updated instructions are communicated and power provided. The port is concealed under a label, cover, or in a location that limits access by the device owner, such as the battery well.

Abstract:
Described are a device and a method for acquiring data using a camera port of a processor. The device includes a processing unit; a memory arrangement storing a set of instructions; and a camera port. The camera port is configured to receive first data in a first format from a camera-type arrangement. The camera port receives from a non-camera type data acquisition device second data in a second format and the processing unit converts the second data into further second data stored in the first format using the set of the instructions.

Described are a device and a method for acquiring data using a camera port of a processor. The device includes a processing unit (130; a memory arrangement (120) storing a set of instructions; and a camera port (170). The camera port is configured to receive first data a first format from a camera-type arrangement. The camera port receives from a non-camera type data acquisition device second data i a second format and the processing unit converts the second data into further second data stored in the first format using the set of the instructions.
