Software-hardware welding system

A computer readable medium storing data structures embodying executables to effect a method comprising:

• operating a processor operably connected to a first hardware resource;
• operating the first hardware resource with a computer readable resource identifier for identifying available hardware resources;
• identifying the processor, by the resource identifier, as the first hardware resource;
• executing on the processor a welder to inseparably connect a persistent software layer thereto;
• accessing, by the processor, a first hardware interface;
• and
• automatically engaging the persistent software layer upon accessing, by the processor, the hardware interface.

A method for welding a software layer to a hardware layer in a computer system having hardware interfaces, the method comprising:

• providing a processor operably connected to a first hardware resource;
• providing a first hardware interface corresponding to the first hardware resource;
• identifying the processor, by a resource identifier, as the first hardware resource;
• executing on the processor a welder for inseparably connecting a persistent software layer to the first hardware resource precluding direct access to the first hardware interface by anything other than the persistent software layer in the processor;
• accessing, by the processor, the first hardware interface;
• and
• automatically engaging the persistent software layer upon accessing, by the processor, the hardware interface.
