Abstract

A technique for generating a customized program logic for booting a target system includes determining the hardware devices operatively connected with the target system. A list of identifiers of the determined hardware devices is sent to a server system. The server system selects from a set of drivers for each of the device identifiers in the list at least one driver operable to control the identified device to generate a sub-set of said set of drivers. The server system retrieves a core program logic being free of any drivers of the target system and sends the core program logic and the driver sub-set to the target system. The target system creates the customized program logic using the combination of the core program logic and the driver sub-set.
