<p>A machine control module for a processor includes a processor independent kernel object and one or more processor specific objects, the kernel object being responsive on initialisation to parameters identifying a processor specific object to establish a link from the kernel object to the processor specific object for initialising the machine controller on the processor, which may be a microcontroller or a microprocessor, for example. The kernel object is responsive to parameters identifying a processor specific object to establish a pointer table containing pointers to the processor specific object. The invention finds particular application to an element in a telecommunications system which has one or more processors for passing messages to and from the element, with the module being initialised on at least one of the processors.</p> |
