Abstract
A method for extensible firmware abstraction includes creating a null library and adding null library dependencies to the null library's build file. The null library is associated with a shared firmware module that depends on the null library dependencies for successful execution. A computer processor executes the build file, null library, and shared firmware module to impose the null library dependencies on execution of the shared firmware module.
