Abstract

See full text

A system and methods are shown for providing access of specific hardware components and an operating system through a collection of highly transportable drivers. Commands generated by an application are received through the collection of highly transportable drivers. The drivers represent the generated commands using sets of function calls. The function call's access functions are available in sets of platform dependent drivers. The platform dependent drivers provide access to specific system components using the functions, allowing the generated commands to be used for a variety of hardware and operating system types. The hardware and operating system can be altered without altering or replacing the highly transportable drivers.
