Intel® Firmware Support Package
Intel® Firmware Support Package (Intel® FSP) 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. Components include:
- CPU, memory controller, and Intel® chipset initialization functions as a binary package: Provides silicon initialization ingredients, preserves existing features and frameworks, and fits into existing boot loaders
- Integration guide: Describes the APIs available to communicate with Intel FSP and to integrate it with a boot-loader solution
