The on-chip firmware resides in a non volatile memory namely the BootROM and is the first software of any kind to be executed by the CPU right after reset.

The on-chip firmware has two parts:
• Startup Software (SSW) which provisions the various boot modes and is the main thread of execution
• Test Firmware (Testware, not described in this document) which deals with test related routines that can be invoked by ATE in test mode only
