Method and apparatus for initializing embedded device

An apparatus for initializing an embedded device, comprising:

• a startup module including at least one of a file system initialization function execution module, a kernel module initialization function execution module, a network configuration function execution module, an application program startup function execution module, and an environment variable setup function execution module, as an initialization script replacement function module;
• a booting sequence control module for loading a booting sequence including information about an operating sequence of a boot process, and controlling that the startup module performs an initialization script replacement function based on the loaded booting sequence;
• and
• an initialization program module for, when a boot loader is executed and a kernel is loaded, executing a function of the startup module via the booting sequence control module, and setting a state of the embedded device to a usable state.
