Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for interconnecting a peripheral device and an electronic system, comprising: obtaining content from an information (INF) file associated with said peripheral device, wherein said content defines a range of an assigned input/output address for said peripheral device, wherein if said peripheral device complies with the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express standard, then said assigned input/output address for said peripheral device is within a first range; recognizing a resource conflict between said peripheral device and said electronic system by analyzing said content in said INF file, wherein said resource conflict occurs if said content indicates that said assigned input/output address for said peripheral device is within a second range; resolving said resource conflict by modifying said INF file to assign a new input/output address within said first range to said peripheral device; and updating a device driver associated with said peripheral device.
