Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for loading a driver, where the method includes: determining a model identifier corresponding to a component included in an embedded device, and searching for a driver associated with the model identifier; loading a found driver into a memory of the embedded device, and controlling the driver to drive the component. In this solution, when a driver is loaded onto a component onto which a driver is to be loaded, an associated driver is searched for according to a model identifier of the component onto which the driver is to be loaded, and then the associated driver may be loaded. A combination of drivers of multiple components does not need to be searched for, or a combination of identifiers corresponding to drivers of multiple components does not need to be generated. Therefore, consumed time is reduced and loading efficiency is improved.
