System and method for generating a device driver using an archive of template code

A system for generating a device driver based on an archived template code using a device driver generation tool, said system comprising:

• one or more hardware processors;
• a memory storing instructions to configure the one or more hardware processors, wherein the one or more hardware processors are configured by the instructions to execute said device driver generation tool on said system, wherein said device driver generation tool when executed by said one or more hardware processors generates said device driver based on said archived template code, wherein said device driver generation tool comprises a database that stores (i) a template archive comprising a plurality of configuration files and a plurality of template files, (ii) a set of predefined rules, (iii) a first specification and (iv) a second specification for generating said device driver specific to a hardware device and an operating system, wherein said device driver generation tool when executed by said one or more hardware processors is configured to
• (i) perform a first set of instructions comprising:
• extracting said plurality of configuration files and said plurality of template files from a template archive stored in said database, wherein said plurality of configuration files comprises one or more high level configuration files and one or more low level configuration files, wherein said one or more low level configuration files and said one or more high level configuration files comprises one or more labels;
• parsing at least one high-level configuration file from said one or more high level configuration files, corresponding to a class of said hardware device, and said operating system for which said device driver is being generated;
• simultaneously processing at least one label associated with said at least one high-level configuration file to obtain an identified label;
• (ii) perform (a) a second set of instructions when said identified label is a block label, or (b) a third set of instructions when said identified label is a file label, wherein said second set of instructions comprises:
• extracting template code from said plurality of template files for said block label to obtain an extracted template code;
• and
• generating a portion of said device driver corresponding to said block label based on said extracted template code,
• wherein said third set of instructions comprises:
• parsing at least one low-level configuration file from said one or more low-level configuration files;
• and
• generating said device driver using said first specification and said second specification based on said at least one low-level configuration file.
