Method and apparatus for the processor independent embedded platform

A method comprising,

• identifying resource needs of a plurality of peripherals, the resource needs including a type and a quantity of at least one resource corresponding to each peripheral of the plurality of peripherals;
• identifying resource requirements of a plurality microcontrollers, the resource requirements including a type and a quantity of each resource provided by the plurality of microcontrollers;
• comparing the resource needs of the plurality of peripherals with the resource requirements of the plurality of microcontrollers to identify generic resources common to the plurality of microcontrollers, wherein a first microcontroller of the plurality of microcontrollers provides the generic resources to processor pin locations according to a first architecture, wherein a second microcontroller of the plurality of microcontrollers provides the generic resources to processor pin locations according to a second architecture, wherein the first architecture is different than the second architecture;
• assigning each resource of the generic resources to a fixed location on a motherboard, the assigning including assigning the fixed location to an interface pin;
• and
• identifying for each resource of the generic resources a processor pin location of the first microcontroller providing the resource, routing the processor pin location providing the resource to the assigned interface pin, wherein the interface pin provides the resource to the fixed location on the motherboard.
