March 2008 ALQ155 AAG Clinic Load/Verify Load/Verify Loads bitmap onto the PIM’s FPGA. ▪ Bitmap is a pin net list. Loads a dummy file and sends dummy file to the LRU. ▪ Dummy file is a simple text file. LRU returns a successful load if the dummy file was loaded correctly onto the LRU. ALQ155 AAG Clinic
