Abstract: An integrated circuit provides a firmware dashboard to communicatively couple to a basic input/output system (BIOS), and provide to the BIOS a firmware load interface, and an intellectual property (IP) block interface to communicatively couple to an IP block, wherein the IP block provides a push model to load a firmware or a pull model to load the firmware, and wherein the firmware dashboard provides a common load flow to the BIOS for both the push model and pull model.
