1. A method, comprising:
- providing an interpreted language code to a processing system, the interpreted language code defining how to interact with a hardware device of the processing system; and
interpreting the interpreted language code to interact with the hardware device of the processing system prior to entering an operating system (“
OS”
) runtime mode of operation of the processing system.

Abstract
A system and method to interact with a hardware device of a processing system. An interpreted language code defining how to interact with the hardware device of the processing system is provided. The interpreted language code is interpreted to interact with the hardware device of the processing system prior to entering an operating system runtime mode of operation of the processing system.

14. An article of manufacture comprising a computer-accessible medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
interpret a first portion of an interpreted language code defining how to interact with a hardware device of a processing system; and interact with the hardware device of the processing system based on the interpretation of the first portion of the interpreted language code prior to entering an operating system (“
OS”
) runtime mode of operation of the processing system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A processing system, comprising:
-
a processor; a hardware device communicatively coupled to the processor; and flash memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the flash memory having stored therein an interpreted language code defining how to interact with the hardware device, the processor to execute the interpreted language code via an interpreter to interact with the hardware device prior to executing operating system (“
OS”
) files. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
