Specific images of an OS are built using only the driver bindings that are necessary to link the OS to the particular hardware of a client device. A device tree of the client device is analyzed to identify the hardware components. Databases of different hardware source code for various hardware drivers are maintained and used to craft the driver bindings and instances for the hardware of the client device. The device tree is also analyzed to identify compatibility strings of the various hardware on the client device. The hardware source code is searched for these compatibility strings to see if a driver exists in the databases of hardware source code. Specific driver bindings and driver instances with the actual variable names and configuration parameters of the identified hardware drivers are then generated and included in an image of the OS that may be installed on the client device.

An example method of implementing an application for a hardware accelerator having a programmable device coupled to memory is disclosed. The method includes compiling source code of the application to generate logical circuit descriptions of kernel circuits; determining resource availability in a dynamic region of programmable logic of the programmable device, the dynamic region exclusive of a static region of the programmable logic programmed with a host interface configured to interface a computing system having the hardware accelerator; determining resource utilization by the kernel circuits in the dynamic region; determining fitting solutions of the kernel circuits within the dynamic region, each of the fitting solutions defining connectivity of the kernel circuits to banks of the memory; adding a memory subsystem to the application based on a selected fitting solution of the fitting solutions; and generating a kernel image configured to program the dynamic region to implement the kernel circuits and the memory subsystem.

This program development device comprises: a storage unit which holds a project; and an update means which imports one or a plurality of program modules into the project. Each of the program modules contains a program, and can define a first variable which is a variable that can be referenced among all program modules, a second variable which is a variable that can be referenced among the plurality of program modules, and a third variable which is a variable referenced in each program module. The update means maintains the variable name of the first variable contained in the imported program module, and when the variable name of the second variable contained in the imported program module overlaps the variable name of the second variable contained in any of the program modules of the project, the update means accepts a change of the overlapping variable name.

A method of generating a user interface for presentation to a user. The method comprises executing a first application computer program to provide a user interface, executing agent computer program code to interrogate and modify said user interface during execution of said first application computer program, and presenting said modified user interface. The first application computer program may be run on a server, while the modified user interface may be presented to a user at a client connected to said server.

A computer-implemented method for generating linker code for generation process of executable code for a processing unit from a source code, in particular in a control unit of a vehicle. The control unit includes at least one memory unit each including at least one memory area in each case, and a processor unit including at least one processor core. As a function of predefined pieces of information relating to the memory areas of the processing unit, a predefined configuration of the existing memory areas as to which applications are assigned to which memory areas, and a predefined configuration of the macros which describe accesses of applications to memory areas according to specific properties, data arrays are generated, according to which an initialization of the memory areas takes place.

In a method for dynamically binding data in an application, an expression describing a relation between a first property of a first data of the application to a first property of a second data of the application is received. A binding is created between the first data and the second data based on the relation. A change is propagated to the first property of the second data based on a change to the first property of the first data. The receiving the expression and the creating the binding are repeated to create a plurality of bindings based on a plurality of expressions, and the receiving the expression and the creating the binding occur dynamically during an execution of the application.
