A device, that includes nonvolatile memory, a peripheral antenna, and a peripheral radio frequency (RF) receiver, is configured to receive a peripheral RF signal containing programming and to write the programming to the nonvolatile memory. Examples of such a device include, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and a desktop personal computer. The programming received by the device can be used to update a boot-up algorithm or an application stored in the nonvolatile memory of the device. In one embodiment, a system programs a plurality of devices via a plurality of peripheral RF signals particular to each device. A computer system has stored a plurality of RF data module arrays to generate the plurality of peripheral RF signals.
