The flash is allocated for storing the binary code of the BIOS. The ATCA-8330 boots from the
primary flash SPI 0 under normal circumstances. If booting BIOS from primary flash SPI 0 fails,
a hardware mechanism automatically changes the flash device select logic to boot from the
recovery flashSPI 1. The image that the processor will boot from after next reset is determined
by the IPMC. It can be selected via dedicated IPMI OEM command.
