1. A system for a field programmable device (FPD), comprising:
at least one hardware design language (HDL) application core;
at least one component virtual interface respectively coupled to said HDL core, said HDL core and said component virtual interface forming a component, wherein said component virtual interface has a plurality of pre-defined interfaces for communicating with said core, and wherein said component is hardware independent of said FPD;
a target platform interface coupled to said component virtual interface wherein said target platform interface incorporates hardware specific information; and
a framework manager coupled to said target platform interface and communicating with at least one operating system.
