Dear engineers!! When I use test_rom to run flash software now, I always need to manually load the test program into OpenTitan's flash using OpenTitantool. How can I achieve automatic testing and running of the program after FPGA is powered on. How to solidify a flash program into a bitstream so that it can be executed immediately after being powered on?

Research direction

Start by tracing the test_rom flow on the CW310 and the OpenTitanTool step currently used to load the flash program. Done would mean the flash software is incorporated into the bitstream and runs automatically after the FPGA is powered on.
