ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for embedding information from a first configuration data set having data structures into an embedded processing system, wherein embedding the information maintains user-defined variables. Embedding information includes comparing a first identifier from the first configuration data set with a second identifier from a second configuration data set having data structures to determine if the first identifier differs from the second identifier. In response to a determination of the first identifier differing from the second identifier, a decision is made to merge the first configuration data set with the second configuration data set to form a merged configuration data set. Afterwards, the merged configuration data set is written to the embedded processing system, wherein the merged configuration data set includes maintained user-defined variables.
