         Details:
             The command "cpldupdate" is provided to install CPLD. There are two ways to do it:
-                1. To burn CPLD via gpio, which is faster but only supported on new systems, like Anaconda, ...

                 2. To install CPLD via firmware, which is slower but supported on older systems.
                    This also requires the mst device designated.
             "cpldupdate --dev <devname> <vme_file>" has the logic of testing whether to update via gpio is supported,
