2.2.22 Initialization Client
The Flash Memory System Builder initializes all configured clients using the data stored in Flash Memory when the system powers up. To initiate system power‑up initialization, the INIT_POWER_UP signal must be asserted high.
The Initialization Client can be used to set initial values for RAM or FIFO structures, such as lookup tables, filter‑coefficient lists, MAC addresses, or for ROM‑emulation purposes.
