Abstract
Systems and methods for selectively providing access to a media device based on a profile associated with the media device. In certain embodiments, the profile of the media device can be user-defined as a development profile or a personal profile. When the device is connected to a host computer system, the profile of the media device is accessed. If the profile of the media device is a development profile, an integrated development environment on the host computer system can access the media device. If the profile of the media device is a personal profile, the integrated development environment is prevented from accessing the device.
