Abstract
The present invention provides a set of blocks for creating device drivers. Since, for most computational devices, device driver code to configure and control an I/O interface may be decomposed into a small finite number of common software functions, by providing a block set comprising blocks representing the finite number of common software functions, custom device drivers can be created for any number of devices. Thus, by providing a set of generalized device driver blocks that can be parameterized by the user, specific instances of custom device drivers can be created as needed. Processor and device specific driver code can then be generated from the custom device driver.
