ABSTRACT:
A system and method that utilizes a common hardware register pseudo-language are disclosed. The present invention employs a common platform to specify hardware functionality and to execute hardware action(s). Hardware actions can be effectuated by performing a series of instructions, which comprise hardware register primitives and resources utilized by the primitives. The hardware register primitives are operations defined according to the common hardware register pseudo-language. The series of instructions can be loaded prior to boot or during initialization.
