This option is used with the verify and upgrade operations.
--force
This option allows the installation of images with non-matching part-number and part-revision
FRU data fields. This option should be used with extreme caution only because installing an
incompatible image on a device may render it inoperable.
--help
Displays a brief message describing command usage. It also displays a list of the devices
supported on the blade. This option is exclusive and should not be used with other options.
-m
--mark
Tells FCU to set the boot select so that on the next boot the specified firmware bank will be
active. When mark is combined with the upgrade operation, there is no need to specify a bank;
the bank just upgraded will be marked. Otherwise, you must specify a bank and a device.
Note that on the ATCA-MF106 the U-Boot, DTB, Kernel, and Ramdisk are coupled, this means
when you mark a U-Boot image for the next reboot, the other corresponding images are
automatically marked as well.
-q
--query
Tells FCU to return firmware information for a specific device (if used with -d) or information
about all firmware devices. The query operation is exclusive and is not intended to be
combined with other operations.
-s
--show
Shows detailed information about a specified file. The information shown includes for example
image type, version, manufacturer name etc. This command may be useful before a firmware
upgrade to determine the version of a new image file.
