Abstract

Provided is a controller of a smart meter that includes a processor incorporating a debugging module configured to stop execution of instructions when a stop point is reached and to generate an associated hardware interrupt. For applying a correction to a set of instructions, the controller: receives a new-correction message that supplies the correction to be applied and a point of stopping application of the correction in the set of instructions executed by the controller; records correction instructions in non-volatile memory for future restarting of the smart meter, and in random access memory for the purpose of taking into account without restarting the smart meter; configures the debugging module with the point of stopping application of the correction; and applies on the fly the correction instructions of which are recorded in random access memory, when detecting a hardware interrupt associated with the point of stopping application of the correction.
