Intel® System Bring-up Toolkit
Strengthen System Reliability. Optimize System Power & Performance.
Platform Insight & System Tuning
Reducing the time it takes to go from pre-silicon to production can be an enormous competitive advantage. The Intel® System Bring-up Toolkit delivers what developers need to accelerate system bring-up and optimization—whether you’re a device manufacturer, system integrator, or IoT software provider.
This collection of debug, trace, and power and performance analysis tools allow developers to quickly debug and analyze the entire platform, including:
- Hardware
- Firmware, UEFI, BIOS
- Operating system kernels, device drivers, and more
Regardless of whether you’re in pre- or post-silicon development, the results are:
- Faster time to market
- Optimized performance and power or thermal behavior
- Increased efficiency and productivity
Get the Toolkit
Access to this toolkit requires a signed corporate Confidential Non-Disclosure Agreement (CNDA).
Existing CNDA customers can download the software from the Intel® Registration Center (sign in required).
If you do not see the components after you sign in, you may not have CNDA access.
Features
