The boot device is used to push the bootstream to the BlueField Controller Card. Upon writing to it, it automatically resets the Arm cores so that it
is booted using the pushed bootstream.
The console device can be used as a console instead of the serial-USB console. The primary bootloader does not support this device,
however, UEFI and Linux support it. In cases where the special UART adapter board is unavailable, this can be used instead.

Push the initial install bootstream to the BlueField Controller Card:

bootstream.
