Firmware Support Enables Fast Boot Implementations: Product Brief
Intel® Firmware Support Package (Intel® FSP) provides key firmware components for initializing Intel silicon, including the processor, memory controller, chipset, and certain bus interfaces, as needed. It can be easily integrated into a boot loader of the developer’s choice, such as coreboot*, Wind River VxWorks*, BIOS, Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), Linux,* and open source firmware. Intel® FSP is easy to adopt, economical to build, and scalable to design, thereby reducing time-to-market. As it is not a stand-alone boot loader, it must be integrated with a host boot loader infrastructure to carry out other functions. This includes initializing non-Intel components, conducting bus enumeration, and discovering devices in the system.
