Local parameter in FPGA To avoid specifying it at synthesis, may be patched into a Block RAM's initial state in bitstream Bitstream may be stored in a flash memory chip Loaded into FPGA from flash on power-on Only a subset of Pico's boards have flash Others have to be configured from host before use Not host-unreadable in existing boards as-is May be retrievable via partial reconfiguration A hardware revision may be made e.g., a jumper to enable configuration mode Pico would do it if there's demand
