CFE 和BMC

broadcom 平台的 bcm956218x芯片，会使用2个bootloader 一个是BMC, 一个是CFE。

1. 两个bootloader之间可以用 “～.” 进行切换。

<BMC> 
Switching to MIPS

2. BMC 命令如下：

<BMC> help  
show-bmc-info         Print basic information of BMC.
show-payload-info     Print basic information of payload.
get-device-id         Print BMC device version.
show-lel-info         Print basic information of local SEL.
clear-lel             Clear local SEL.
get-lel-entry         Print informatin of local events.get-sensor-info       Print information of sensors.
set-debug-level       Set debug level.
set-debug-module      Open or close one module's debug flag.
set-next-pay-bank     Set next payload bank select mode, which
                      works in next payload power on.
fru-control           Payload reset, power off, or power on.
stop-watchdog         Stop CFD watchdog or BMC watchdog.

snpb 0/1 可以在两块CFE备份之间切换

<BMC> snpb 1

<BMC> Will set next payload bank selecet to 1
