Abstract

The present invention provides a system for booting an intelligent device with an embedded-type operating system obtained through an external interface disposed in the intelligent device, wherein the system includes an initialization module stored in a read-only memory provided in the intelligent device, the initialization module being executed in a processor disposed in the intelligent device and connecting to an external location through the external interface, and a server having a memory media which stores a boot agent module and an embedded-type operating system at the external location, the server sending the boot agent module to the intelligent device through the connection in response to a request from the initialization module, wherein the boot agent module is loaded into a runtime memory in the intelligent device and executed by the processor, the boot agent module then retrieving an embedded-type operating system image from the external location in the sever, whereupon the embedded-type operating system image is loaded into the runtime memory and executed by the processor.
