Method for managing embedded software modules for an electronic computer of an electrical switching device

A method for managing embedded software modules for an electronic computer embedded in an electrical switching device for an electric current, wherein said method comprises steps of:

• a) acquiring, by a management system, software modules for the electronic computer of the switching device, a software module comprising a runnable code and a service contract declaring the hardware resources required by the runnable code during execution by the electronic computer;
• b) installing the software module inside a host receptacle, by the management system, said host receptacle belonging to an assembly of host receptacles each intended to form a run-time environment for a software module, each receptacle comprising a memory location defined statically inside of a memory of the electronic computer and being associated with a sub-assembly of hardware resources of the electronic computer;
• c) running the software module by the electronic computer;
• wherein the step c) comprises, when the software module is run, a step of verifying, with the management system, whether the execution of the software module complies with the service contract of said software module, wherein the execution is authorized to proceed if it complies with the service contract and wherein, if the execution of the software module is identified as not complying with the service contract, a recovery step is implemented with the aim of interrupting the running of the software module by the electronic computer.
