Method and device for porting software programs to a target platform by way of an electronic data processing system

An electronic data processing-based device for porting a software program to a target platform, comprising:

• a read-in unit, adapted to read a platform-independent technological first functional plan, describing an object to be processed by way of a software program, into the device;
• a memory device, adapted to store a rule base for converting at least one of at least one platform-independent port, one parameter and one functional module of the first functional plan into at least one of at least one further port, further parameter and further functional module of a second functional plan;
• and
• a processing unit, adapted to generate the second functional plan, wherein the second functional plan is adapted to specific requirements of the target platform.
