Firmware

The newer Intel® Itanium® Processor firmware consists of many components loosely coupled by a single framework. These components are individually linked binary images that are bound together at run time. Internally, the firmware employs a software database called a device tree to represent the structure of the hardware platform and to provide a means of associating software elements with hardware functionality.

Itanium or PA-RISC firmware releases for HP Integrity Superdome/sx2000 or HP 9000/sx2000 are available.
