SMBIOS 3.0 support in dmidecode an invention by jdelvare On February 12th, 2015, the DMTF released version 3.0.0 of the System Management BIOS Reference Specification. This update isn't just adding enumerated values to existing structures, as previous updates did. It is also introducing a new entry point format which allows for larger tables and structures. Support for this needs to be added to dmidecode. Additionally, reading the entry point and the table from /dev/mem is no longer possible on all systems, so some work is in progress to offer an alternative interface through sysfs. It would be great to finalize this and release a new version of dmidecode that would support both SMBIOS version 3.0 and this new kernel interface. Updated almost 5 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️.
DMI table conformance checker a project by jdelvare The SMBIOS specification includes an informative annex providing conformance guidelines for DMI table implementations. I would like to write a checker tool to verify the conformance of DMI tables, based on this document. Such a tool could be useful for system firmware writers. We already have dmidecode which is able to locate and decode DMI tables. It should be fairly easy to reuse the same core and add an alternative structure parser, which would perform the checks instead of printing the decoded information. Updated about 7 years ago. No love.
Support for BIOS-based error log in dmidecode a project by jdelvare Project Description The DMI table may contain BIOS-based error information. Currently dmidecode is not able to decode it. However an experimental patch was contributed a few years ago, which could be used as a starting point to enable this feature. Updated about 3 years ago. 2 hacker ♥️. 2 followers.
