-f

--file=

Specifies the FRI file, where is the complete path and filename of the image file.
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 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

Informs 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-SAM1411 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

Informs 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, and so on. This command may be useful
before a firmware upgrade to determine the version of a new image file.
