Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of managing an embedded system comprising at least one original code which is associated with a computer device, at least one embedded code which is associated with the embedded system, and at least one processor which is associated with said embedded system. The invention is characterized in that it comprises a first step involving the creation of at least one autonomous software component, consisting in: analyzing the original code in order to identify the target functions that are called by the original code but not implemented in said code; determining a corresponding function identifier for each of said non-implemented functions; and replacing said non-implemented function calls with at least one switching function PLUG call which is implemented by the embedded code. The invention is further characterized in that it comprises a second step involving the execution of the component on the embedded system, the aforementioned switching function PLUG controlling the rerouting of the processor towards the address of the non-implemented target function corresponding to the function identifier.
