ABSTRACT:
A method and system to allow user applications can access hardware platform-specific configuration information in a generic way. A platform independent framework lies on a layer that interfaces with the operating system layer. Accordingly, when a platform is changed, the operating system layer is notified of the change to facilitate informing the user of the change. This framework also has a plug-in publishing interface that is used to develop platform-specific modules to publish or export hardware configurations to other users. In another embodiment, this framework has a user interface that allows the user to make the necessary changes to the system management and hardware diagnostic tools whenever the platform is changed to ensure that the tools function correctly.
