Abstract
In one aspect, a microcontroller is disclosed. In one embodiment, the microcontroller includes a system memory that has an erasable memory of a first type, with a first storage partition and a second, different storage partition. The system memory also has a random access memory (RAM). The microcontroller further includes a network interface that is configured to communicate management commands over a communications link, and a programmable processor that is operatively connected to the system memory and the network interface. The communications link includes an interface bus and is configured for one or more of I2C, SPI, and system management bus communications. The programmable processor is programmed to perform functions that include receiving a first management command configured for the erasable memory of the first type, causing the second storage partition of the erasable memory of the first type to emulate a second type of erasable memory, and receiving a second management command configured for the second type of erasable memory.
