Often, a successful firmware update (UPD) can:

A sophisticated embedded system might combine all three in a secure update pipeline: otpbin seeprombin upd

Some embedded development tools use the command syntax:

programmer --otpbin otp_data.bin --seeprombin eeprom_data.bin --upd firmware.upd

Here, --upd triggers the update sequence, first burning OTP (if unprogrammed), then writing the EEPROM image, and finally programming the main flash. stm32programmer_cli -g

Because EEPROM is rewritable, attackers can:
