Abstract: A resource file (36) comprises resource data defining one or more resources usable by embedded application program means (32) for operating a user interface of an electronic device (11). The resource file (36) is separate from the application program means (32) and the resource file (36) has a searchable structure.

Abstract: A method of handling a re-start of a first processor in a dual-processor system where the system includes a first processor performing a first set of functions operably coupled to a second processor performing a second set of functions. The method includes the steps of storing one or more initialization and/or configuration commands in a memory element, wherein the commands are sent by the second processor to the first processor to set an operation of said first processor. A message from the first processor indicates a re-start operation of the first processor, in response to which the one or more initialization or configuration commands are retrieved from the memory element. The first processor is then re-started with preferably the most-recent initialization or configuration setting so that the operational state of the first processor, following re-start, is as expected by the second processor.
