Abstract
An Operating-System (OS) independent peripheral API is provided to applications processing in an application OS. The API communicates with a peripheral OS that includes device drivers for peripherals. Requests for accessing the peripherals are made through the API of the application OS but access and control of the peripherals are maintained through the device drivers of the peripheral OS.
