| 1. A method of providing an interface between an operating system and hardware devices comprising:
storing the interface in a flash memory application and file storage device; and thereafter
copying the interface from the flash memory application and file storage device into RAM with loading logic circuitry by enabling
the flash memory application and file storage device and the RAM; and thereafter
enabling an address counter of the loading logic circuitry to output a value; and thereafter
correlating the value with a RAM address; and thereafter
sending data from the flash memory application and file storage device over a data bus to the RAM address; and thereafter
incrementing the address counter of the loading logic circuitry.
