Abstract

A method for accessing I/O devices in embedded control environments is provided, wherein said I/O devices are remotely attached to an embedded microprocessor. By mapping said I/O devices' resources to said microprocessor's address or memory address space, existing device drivers can be reused and the time-to-market capability is greatly improved.
