Consistency checking mechanism for configuration parameters in embedded systems

摘要

An arrangement is provided for consistent parameter configuration in an embedded system. A consistent parameter configuration mechanism comprises a management client and a configuration manager. When the management client receives a set of configuration requests, it notifies the configuration manager to start a transaction, during which the configuration manager requests relevant embedded modules to perform parameter configurations according to the configuration requests, to manage hard coded dependencies, and to enforce registered dependencies. Any detected inconsistency during parameter configuration causes the consistent parameter configuration mechanism to undo the parameter configuration.
