Abstract: A system and method for improved evaluation of semiconductor hardware is provided. The system comprises a firmware repository server, which firmware repository server comprises a plurality of firmware packages for the one or more evaluation hardware boards. The firmware repository server is further configured to: receive a firmware request for a user evaluation hardware board from a first of the client devices, search the plurality of firmware packages for compatible firmware packages for the user evaluation hardware board, generate a catalog of the compatible firmware packages for the user evaluation hardware board, transmit the catalog to the first client device, receive a request for a user selected firmware package from the catalog of compatible firmware packages, and to transmit firmware of the user selected firmware package to the client device for installation on the user evaluation hardware board.
