ABSTRACT:
A first vendor generates one or more files corresponding to an integrated circuit having one or more registers. A content of the files is structured for at least one of: (i) incorporation into a boot code sequence; or (ii) access by the boot code sequence during execution. The boot code sequence is configured to initialize the registers responsive to the content during execution. The first vendor transmits the files to at least one of: (i) a second vendor that develops the boot code sequence; or (ii) a manufacturer of a system that includes the integrated circuit and the boot code sequence. A computer accessible medium comprises instructions which, when executed, generate the files described above and/or comprises the files. A method may include receiving, from the first vendor, the files described above. The content of the files is incorporated into the boot code sequence.
