Abstract
An interface to one or more hardware devices includes a configuration library and objects to model the hardware. Software programs using the interface need not understand how to communicate with the hardware. Instead, the software programs may communicate with the interface. In turn, the interface communicates with the hardware. The software may be written when the hardware implementation features are unknown.
