LiteX takes the philosophy of pushing as much onto the [[Soft CPU]] as possible. This means that most [[Gateware]] needs some accompanying code to initialize various settings and configurations. This specialized firmware is called the [[BIOS]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [[BIOS]] generally does tasks like;
|
||
|
|
* Train any external DDR memory
|
||
|
|
* Load the user's [[Firmware]] into external memory via;
|
||
|
|
* Communication channels like serial, tftp
|
||
|
|
* Other storage systems like external flash.
|
||
|
|
|

This can make it very fast to do development as you can iterate on [[Firmware]] development quickly.
