Abstract
In a method of building a firmware component to execute a sequence of instructions in a device having a computer, a plurality of build files is processed to form a set of buildable statements of hardware policy. The buildable statements are decoded to form a Configuration Manager namespace. Contents of the Configuration Manager namespace are linked to a UEFI compatible kernel program having a Configuration Manager capability. Alternatively, a data stream representing the contents of the Configuration Manager namespace is encoded to form a Configuration Manager database readable by the UEFI compatible kernel program at a run-time. A plurality of UEFI device driver programs and the UEFI compatible kernel program are linked to form the firmware component.
