FRU information in the MPCBL0010 SBC includes data describing the MPCBL0010 SBC
board as specified in the PICMG 3.0 requirements. Additional multi-records are added
for the BIOS to write CPU information, and the BIOS version number to FRU data
correctly. This information is retrieved by the shelf manager (AdvancedTCA ShMC),
enabling reporting of board-specific information through an out-of-band mechanism.
