The present invention is in the field of embedded systems. More particularly, some embodiments initialize, reconfigure, and shut down a module function to provide a unified solution for software development.

Initialization, reconfiguration, and shut down of a module function

A system and method for software modularization and automatic code generation for embedded systems is disclosed. An embedded systems software application module is disclosed comprising an initialization/shutdown unit that allows for shutdown and initialization of the module, and a module proper that provides the functionality of the module and having a management/configuration manager interface used to communicate between the module proper and a configuration manager and one or more configuration management units such that the module proper is management access type independent. Optionally, the module may further comprise one or more configuration management units that provide specific management of and interaction with the module proper. There is also provided a toolset to facilitate code generation and development for creating an embedded systems software application from one or more such modules.

Method and system for software modularization and automatic code generation for embedded systems

The present invention is in the field of networking systems. More particularly, some embodiments change validation and setting of configuration parameter change requests within a transaction to provide a unified solution for software development.

Configuration parameter sequencing and sequencer

An arrangement is provided for consistent parameter configuration in an embedded system. A consistent parameter configuration mechanism comprises a management client and a configuration manager. When the management client receives a set of configuration requests, it notifies the configuration manager to start a transaction, during which the configuration manager requests relevant embedded modules to perform parameter configurations according to the configuration requests, to manage hard coded dependencies, and to enforce registered dependencies. Any detected inconsistency during parameter configuration causes the consistent parameter configuration mechanism to undo the parameter configuration.
