Abstract
The present invention provides a method of packaging, storing, uploading, and executing a DOS based software module capable for being utilized as applications of a PCI device. The present invention may deliver both a binary image and a DOS executable of an application provided by the PCI device. The DOS executable may be utilized by a source level debugger for the development of the application of the PCI device as any changes to the CU can easily be viewed, debugged and corrected. As a result, testing changes become simple operation that does not require building a bundled binary image with the PCI option ROM. The present invention may provide a method for additional modules to be utilized during system startup time. Further, the present invention may provide an independent tool running under DOS without the presence of the PCI option ROM. Independent DOS executable module may be used to demonstrate the application for internal reviews.
