Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the new version 0.97 of nvram-wakeup.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nvram-wakeup/
This is a (small) program that can read and write the WakeUp time in
the BIOS (via /dev/nvram on kernels >= 2.4.6 or via direct I/O). On
this WakeUp time the computer will be powered on automatically from
the soft-off state.
A short list of changes since 0.96:
2004-07-21: Version 0.97 (beta)
+ Added support for upper nvram on boards with VIA's VT8233 south
bridges.
+ Added two new configuration file options: chk_method and day_no_bcd
(see 'man nvram-wakeup.conf' for more information)
+ Added man pages for all helper programs and scripts.
* Renamed guess-helper.sh to guess-helper.
* Fixed a minor bug in the time helper command.
+ Added several new mainboards. See CVS logs for details and credits.
Thanks to everyone who sent me his/her board configuration.
Debian- and RPM- packages are also available (thanks to Tobias Grimm)
All the best,
Sergei

Hi all,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nvram-wakeup/
This is a (small) program that can read and write the WakeUp time in
the BIOS (via /dev/nvram on kernels >= 2.4.6 or via direct I/O). On
this WakeUp time the computer will be powered on automatically from
the soft-off state.
This is mainly a feature release. A short list of changes:
2004-02-29: Version 0.95 (beta) "Feb 29th - release"
* IMPORTANT: the various _date fields changed to _day. _date configuration
options are accepted but will be removed in one of the next versions.
* IMPORTANT: need_reboot=ALWAYS was changed to need_reboot=ON_ANY_CHANGE since
it produced some confusion on the meaning. The value ALWAYS is still accepted
but will be removed in one of the next versions.
+ Added a new option --directisa. This is an alternative for using /dev/nvram
See man page for more information.
+ Added support for upper nvram on boards with Intel's ICH* south bridges,
VIA's VT82C686A, VT82C686B, VT82C596 and south bridges with Dallas
Semiconductor's DS1685/1687.
+ Added a LOT of new mainboards and updated/added a LOT of new autodetection strings.
See CVS logs for details and credits.
Thanks to everyone who sent me his/her board configuration.
+ Added guess-helper script (by Tobias Grimm), see README.mb for more details.
Debian- and RPM- packages will be added soon (thanks to Tobias Grimm)
All the best,
Sergei

Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the new version 0.91 of nvram-wakeup.
This is mainly a maintainance release. A short list of changes:
2003-08-07: Version 0.91 (beta)
* IMPORTANT: the option --iwstring is now called --iwname.
* Changed `guess' to produce output in configuration file format.
+ Added a LOT of new mainboards and updated/added a LOT of new autodetection strings.
See CVS logs for details and credits.
Thanks to everyone who sent me his/her board configuration.
* Updated man pages, preventing triggering a bug in troff 1.17.2
+ Added some debug output here and there
* The vdrshutdown script now supports checks for non-shotdown-conditions like
- users are logged in
- some process (like movie conversion) is running
- whatever else.
This conditions are freely configurable. look into the script vdrshutdown for more info.
* the reboot images and patches are moved to a separate "package" -- just a tar file
Greetings,
Sergei

I released two new versions of the NVRAM-WakeUp: 0.05 and 0.90.
NVRAM-WakeUp is a (small) program that can read and write the WakeUp time
in the BIOS (via /dev/nvram on recent 2.4.x kernels). On this WakeUp time
the computer will be powered on automatically from the soft-off state.
It is available at
http://sf.net/projects/nvram-wakeup/
Here is a list of changes:
Well, the 0.05 version is the last release in the 0.0x series and is just
a release including all motherboards supported by the cvs version. I think
this version could be considered stable.
The 0.90 version is a complete rewrite of large parts.
+ Now it is able to auto-detect the mainboard/bios brand/revision
(that means MB=xxx compile option is obsolete)
(thanks to Bernhard "Bero" Rosenkraenzer <be...@ar...>)
+ Added runtime option for configuration files
(if the board isn't supported out-of-the-box yet, you can pass
a configuration file with the addresses)
so recompilation on every address change is obsolete.
- The compile time option ACTUALLY_WRITE is obsolete.
CHANGED BEHAVIOUR: Now nvram-wakeup writes by default.
Use --nowrite run time option to have the old behaviour
of ACTUALLY_WRITE=OFF
Well, the board/bios detection is based on the DMI entries in the BIOS.
some of them may be incorrect in the new release.
* If your board used to work with an old 0.0x version, and does not with
the new one, please send me the MB=xxx number from the old version and
the output of 'biosinfo' program (in the new version)
The 0.90 version should be considered of beta quality.
And many thanks to everyone who sent me ideas/hints/pathces.
Have Fun!
Sergei

computer will be powered on automatically from the soft-off state.
It is now available at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nvram-wakeup/
Here is a list of changes:
+ denotes a new feature
* denotes a bugfix/some change
- denotes a removed feature
2002-03-24: Version 0.04 (beta)
* IMPORTANT: It turned out that not only the MSI boards need to be rebooted
after making a change, but also some other boards in special cases. Therefore
the exit states are changed. Now we have:
0 - successful, everything is set properly. don't need to reboot.
1 - successful, everything is set properly. must reboot the changes to take effect.
2 - error occurred. something went wrong.
the script vdrshutdown is changed accordingly, but if you're using your own script,
you have to look at it.
* Completely rewritten many parts of the main program.
+ We can handle the case now where more than one information (e.g. date
and status) is stored in the same byte at different bits.
+ Started using debug mode for printing debug messages.
* Added/Removed/Changed several options in nvram-wakeup-mb.h and added a more
detailed documentation of them at the beginning of the file.
(See into nvram-wakeup-mb.h for more information.)
+ Added some more intelligence to `guess'.
(still consider `guess' alpha quality)
+ Added a new rule `devices' to Makefile.
It creates /dev/nvram and /dev/rtc if they are missing.
+ Print rtc time before setting it. (was just forgotten in ver. 0.03)
+ Added several new mainboards. See nvram-wakeup-mb.h for details and credits.
Thanks to everyone who sent me his/her board configuration.
+ Added support for storing month.
(only for the boards with a BIOS which supports it)
* Replaced RUN_BEFORE by NEED_TO_SHTDWN, which has a slightly different
meaning (see README or nvram-wakeup.h for more details).
+ Added a new rule to Makefile: install.
(The user has to adjust paths in Makefile before installing)
* /dev/nvram and /dev/rtc are never opened at the same time now,
(this prevented some machines from halting by `halt -p')
Thanks to Dr. Werner Fink <we...@su...> for the hint.
* Don't need write permissions for /dev/nvram if no -s/-d parameter was specified
or ACTUALLY_WRITE==OFF
And many thanks to everyone who sent me some ideas/hints/pathces.
Have Fun!
Sergei
