    Abstract: A system and method for an eSync update agent is provided. The update agent can communicate with an eSync client, which receives software updates from an external server and transmits the software updates to the update agent. In turn, the update agent may use its programming to determine one or more aspects of the software update, such as when or whether to perform the software update on its associated electronic device and whether to rollback the update in response to a failure performing the software update on its associated electronic device. The update agent may also be tasked with performing one or both of data gathering from or device control of its associated electronic device. The various functions, including software updating, data gathering and device control, may be programmable and activatable, thereby tailoring the functions performed by the update agent to the lifecycle needs of its associated electronic device.

    Abstract: A System and Method for Updating Software in a Vehicle is provided. Software in a vehicle may, at times, be subject to update. In this regard, a server may send the update software to one or more electronic devices in the vehicle. The server may receive the capabilities of the electronic devices in the vehicle, such as the memory, computational, security capabilities, or the like, and tailor the sending of the software update based on the capabilities of the electronic devices. For example, the division of the software update, the sections of memory from which to determine the delta, the compression schemes, and/or where certain functions (such as where decryption occurs) may be dependent on the capabilities of the electronic devices in the vehicle.
