The platform loader and manager (PLM) is the software that runs on one of the dedicated processors in the Platform Management Controller (PMC) block of the Versal device. It is responsible for boot and run time management, including platform management, error management, partial reconfiguration, and subsystem restart of the device. The PLM can reload images, and load partial PDIs and service interrupts. The PLM reads the programmable device image from the boot source and configures the components of the system, including the NoC initialization, DDR memory initialization, programmable logic, and processing system, and then completes the device boot.
