2.1 Firmware
Board level management is implemented in an FPGA. At power-on, the FPGA logic
configuration is loaded from a flash memory device. The contents of the flash device can be
re-programmed to upgrade functionality or performance using a software utility supplied by
ClearSpeed. This utility runs on the host system and reprograms the flash device through
the Advance e720 accelerator card’s register space.
