3)
Easy Maintenance
Traditional WDT and GPIO programming are closely related to the hardware,
with complicated test and debug process and maintenance of software of
different platforms; however, the software developed by BPI library requires
maintaining only one set of the software.
4)
Low Cost
Using the applications developed by BPI will not result in additional hardware
and software cost. Application software engineers can conveniently use BPI
library function to carry out second development, and do not need to care about
access details about hardware, which greatly reduces the development difficulty,
shortens development cycle and time-to-market for the system integrator.

5.2 FMI Overview
FMI (Firmware Management Interface) is a management software developed based
on BPI specifications. Currently, FMI supports log management eLog function. As for
the test program, please refer to the eManager software in the user manual CD.
1)
eLog
eLog can record the information of PC operation in details, such as time for first
boot, time for completion of test, data of production, On/Off time, total boot
times of the system, illegal power-off times, total online time length of the PC,
total CPU heartbeat times. The log management information can provide
valueable reference information for failure analysis and product upgrade.
