This project presents a modular approach in BIOS development in purpose to tackle the problem of long development time with the existing methodologies which are hardware platform approach and virtual platform approach. The proposed approach consists of previous generation platform, a FPGA card and UEFI drivers. The FPGA is loaded with the RTL of one Intellectual Property (IP) from the current company project. The chosen IP is Low Power Subsystem (LPSS). The card is then plugged into the PCI slot of the platform. Besides, UEFI Configuration Driver and UEFI Reset Driver are built to configure and reset the LPSS registers respectively.
