The architectural layer hardware interfacing concerns software that interacts with available hardware. Here, it concerns situations in which the software must explicitly take into account the possibilities and limitations of the available hardware. In the description within this architectural layer, 'computer system' has been chosen as the generic, all-encompassing term. Depending on the context, this can later be specified as 'embedded system', 'industrial system', 'virtual system', etc.
