Methods and apparatus for harmonizing or unifying at least partly heterogeneous device profiles within electronic devices. In one embodiment, processing or protocol layers within two or more separate device profiles (such as for example the Embedded and External profiles of the UDI specification) are harmonized, thereby permitting the use of a single logical paradigm (for at least one component or process) in place of two or more heterogeneous paradigms under the prior art. In the exemplary context of the aforementioned UDI specification, only a single implementation of the link layer framing logic of a source device, and the frame parsing logic of the sink is needed. Similarly, only one set of compliance tests for this unified paradigm need be developed and implemented.
