Patent ID: 8782296

Claim:
A method for configuration of a module in a modular data-processing system, the module including temporal and hardware resources as well as an operating system allowing segregated running of at least two applications with the aid of at least one part of said resources, the method comprising: obtaining at least one first configuration parameter of said at least one part of said resources of the module, the at least one first configuration parameter applying to one of a resource specific to the operating system or a resource common to the operating system and to at least one of the at least two applications or to the at least two applications; configuring the module according to the at least one first configuration parameter; obtaining at least one second configuration parameter of at least one part of said resources of the module, the at least second configuration parameter applying to a resource specific to one of the at least two applications; merging the at least one first configuration parameter with the at least one second configuration parameter; and incrementally configuring the module according to said merging the at least one second configuration parameter with the at least one first configuration parameter, wherein the at least one first and at least one second configuration parameters are defined in separate configuration files, wherein said merging includes verifying the at least one second configuration parameter, said verifying including comparing the at least one second configuration parameter with at least one resources configuration datum of the module, the at least one resources configuration datum of the module defining a combination of resources of the module able to be used by said one of the at least two applications, and wherein the configuration file associated with the at least one first configuration parameter is a configuration file of the module, and the configuration file associated with the at least one second configuration parameter is a local configuration file of said one of the at least two applications.
