Intel® Software

Drivers, firmware, tools, and ecosystem products for software developers

Develop, Debug, and Optimize

Intel provides a wide range of software tools and support to make your job easier. Explore the software categories below and choose the appropriate links to find developer resources, support documents, and more.

Firmware

Intel® Firmware Support Package (Intel® FSP) and Intel® Boot Loader Development Kit (Intel® BLDK) provides key programming information for initializing Intel® silicon and can be easily integrated into a boot loader of the developer’s choice. It is easy to adopt, scalable to design, reduces time-to-market, and is economical to build.

Communications

Signal processing and packet processing functions have often required special-purpose hardware such as digital signal processors (DSPs), discrete network processing units (NPUs), coprocessors, and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). However, recent enhancements to Intel® architecture processors together with advanced software are providing developers with viable alternatives.
