Hi Jordan,

Yes.  Many terms were considered other than Silicon, except Carbon :)

None of the terms we have considered are a perfect match. 

We are wanting to keep modules for controllers attached to I/O subsystems
and modules for peripherals separate from modules that perform basic 
CPU/Memory/Chipset/SoC init.

Is there any preference on the list between Silicon, Chip, or Device
or other names for basic CPU/Memory/Chipset/SoC init?

Thanks,

Mike
