Method for creation of a device driver for a peripheral device

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicably coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
• create a data structure,
• replace a device identification (ID) in the data structure with a device ID of a peripheral device;
• create a setup information file from content of the data structure,
• send the data structure to a bus driver, the data structure including a request to add a new peripheral device, a class of the peripheral device and the device ID of the peripheral device, and
• transmit a request to a device driver of an interface of the peripheral device and a bus that initiates the installation of the peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device is not connected to the apparatus, and wherein the transmitting of the data structure causes a function driver for the bus to determine that a new device is on the bus.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program that when executed causes a processor to perform:

• creating a data structure;
• replacing a device identification (ID) in the data structure with a device ID of a peripheral device;
• creating a setup information file from content of the data structure;
• sending the data structure to a bus driver, the data structure including a request to add a new peripheral device, a class of the peripheral device and the device ID of the peripheral device;
• and
• transmitting a request to a device driver of an interface of the peripheral device and a bus that initiates the installation of the peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device is not connected to the electronic device, and wherein the transmitting of the data structure causes a function driver for the bus to determine that a new device is on the bus.
