    Cai Zhiyong authored
    Read block device partition table from command line.  The partition used
    for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device.  It is no MBR, save
    storage space.  Bootloader can be easily accessed by absolute address of
    data on the block device.  Users can easily change the partition.
