 Description:    read only
                 Will return "user" or "factory" depending on the image loaded
                 onto the card.

+Description:    read/write
+                Valid entries are "none", "user", and "factory".
+                "none" means PERST will not cause image to be loaded to the
+                card.  A power cycle is required to load the image.
+                "none" could be useful for debugging because the trace arrays
+                are preserved.
+                "user" and "factory" means PERST will cause either the user or
+                user or factory image to be loaded.
+                Default is to reload on PERST whichever image the card has
+                loaded.
