The Common Firmware Environment (CFE) is designed to be easily portable to designs incorporating current
and future Broadcom MIPS64-compatible broadband processors. Supported platforms include Broadcom's
SiByte processor family (BCM1250, BCM1125H, and so forth), 32-bit and 64-bit memory models, and big and
little-endian operation. There are many parameters configurable at build time that can be used to customize
CFE to suit diverse customer requirements.
On the BCM91125PCIX, CFE can load programs (such as S-records, raw binary, or ELF formatted) from
bootstrap devices in a variety of ways, including:
• Via either Ethernet port or from a TFTP server
• Via a CF card in the CF slot
• Via the serial port (S-records only)
For additional information on CFE, refer to the Common Firmware Environment (CFE) Specification document
that can be found in the CFE source code distribution at: http://sibyte.broadcom.com/public.
