Customizing program logic for booting a system

A computer program product for generating customized program logic for booting a system, the computer program product comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code configured to:
• launch a boot loader on a target system;
• request, from a server system, deployment of a deployment engine from the server system;
• responsive to receiving a command from the server system, trigger a hardware management module of the target system to identify all hardware devices operatively connected with the target system;
• generate a list of identifiers of the identified hardware devices;
• send the list to the server system;
• receive from the server system a core program logic and a set of drivers including a driver for each of the device identifiers in the list for operably controlling the respective identified hardware devices;
• and
• create the deployment engine using a combination of the set of drivers and the core program logic.

A target system, comprising:

• hardware devices;
• a boot loader configured to request, to a server system connected to the target system via a network, deployment of a deployment engine from the server system;
• and
• a hardware management module configured to:
• responsive to receiving a command from the server system, trigger the target system to identify the hardware devices operatively connected with the target system;
• generate a list of identifiers of the identified hardware devices;
• send the list to the server system;
• receive from the server system a core program logic and a set of drivers including a driver for each of the device identifiers in the list for operably controlling the respective identified hardware devices;
• and
• create the deployment engine using a combination of the set of drivers and the core program logic.
