Abstract
A data processing system includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory coupled to the CPU. The memory includes an operating system (OS) adapter component, which comprises information specific to a particular operating system; an OS-independent processor component, which, when executed by the CPU, generates initialization code for a target processor using information from the OS adapter component, wherein the initialization code is specific to the particular operating system; and an OS-independent peripheral component, which, when executed by the CPU, generates driver code using information from the OS adapter component, wherein the driver code is specific to the particular operating system and the target processor.
