What is Custom Firmware?
Custom firmware transforms your FPGA DMA card so it appears and behaves like a legitimate PCIe device. Instead of showing up as a generic or unknown adapter, the card takes on the identity—configuration space, device ID, and more—of a recognized, conventional PCIe device (e.g., a network or usb card). This ensures seamless integration with your operating system, improves compatibility with your target environment, and may help avoid certain low-level detection methods. By flashing custom PCILeech-compatible firmware, you’re enhancing the authenticity and functionality of your DMA card, ultimately providing a more efficient, reliable, and discrete solution for your needs.
