A study on program code synchronization in consumer devices

The increasing number of services in cellular phones, car navigation systems, and other consumer devices has made it difficult to release bug-free devices. In order to develop these types of consumer devices, the software used in them should be developed and tested using a cross-platform simulator. However, many cases need to be considered when testing the target devices. Therefore, debugging and software updating process should be performed iteratively. Therefore, the time required for the program codes to download to the target devices should be less. In this paper, we propose a fast download algorithm for consumer devices.
