ABSTRACT:
A centralized digital signal processor resource manager acquires through software techniques, configuration and related data for multimedia hardware devices from BIOS device drivers interposed to functionally insulate the resource manager from hardware device specific information. The resource manager manages hardware devices in a multiple DSP environment using a unique software based hardware device identification scheme to identify and manage the location and availability of each hardware device.
