TI firmware loader driver
A qualified software component provided by Texas Instruments that loads the firmware into the PCI1620 on power
up and initialization.
TI Smart Card driver
A qualified software component provided by Texas Instruments that loads when an UltraMedia-based Smart Card
adapter is inserted into a PC Card slot. This driver is logically attached to a CIS provided by the PCI1620 when the
adapter is inserted.
