  • Emulated device firmware testable by native operating system tools
    Patent number: 10360051
    Abstract: Firmware is run in an emulated environment such that firmware is not embedded in its designed-for target device. Target device emulation software communicatively connects the firmware to the operating system in a manner so that communications sent from and received by the operating system are identical to communications that would be sent from and received by the operating system if the firmware were actually embedded in the target device instead of running in the emulated environment.
