  • lxbios lxbios-2.0.1 file released: lxbios-2.0.1.tgz

    Mon Jan 23 16:00:00 PST 2006 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 2.0.1 * Postpone most sanity checking of CMOS layout information until right before a CMOS read or write operation is attempted. This fixes a problem discovered by Stefan Reinauer in which lxbios was failing on Opteron due to the existence of a "user_data" parameter that is 256 bits long. In general, postponing the sanity checks will make lxbios more adaptable to changes in how LinuxBIOS stores CMOS parameters. * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that makes hex dumps look a bit nicer. * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that allows lxbios to access CMOS memory beyond the first 128 bytes. Fri Dec 16 14:30:00 PST 2005 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 2.0.0 * Added the following options: -Y Write CMOS layout information to standard output. -b OUTPUT_FILE Write the contents of CMOS memory to a binary file. -B INPUT_FILE Read binary data from file and write it to CMOS memory. -x Show a hex dump of all CMOS data. -X DUMPFILE Read binary data from a CMOS dumpfile and show a hex dump of the data. Thanks to Stefan Reinauer for suggesting the ideas for the "-Y", "-b OUTPUT_FILE", and "-B INPUT_FILE" options. * Added support for reading/writing CMOS parameters between 1 and 64 bits in size that are not necessarily aligned on byte boundaries. * Reworked much of the code, cleaning up some ugly parts. * Made a number of minor improvements. Wed Nov 30 16:30:00 PST 2005 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.4.0 * Merge patch from Stefan Reinauer <stepan@openbios.org> that makes lxbios recognize the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry placed in the LinuxBIOS table by newer versions of LinuxBIOS. * Tweak formatting of code to facilitate merging future patches. * Minor code cleanup. Fri Jun 25 18:30:00 PDT 2004 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.3.2. * Changed default_is_printable_fn to avoid problems displaying hex dumps. Thu Jun 10 14:00:00 PDT 2004 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.3.1. * Minor code cleanup. Fri Mar 7 18:00:00 PST 2003 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.3.0. * Added -y option that tells lxbios to get CMOS layout information from a file instead of from the CMOS option table. * Modified command syntax so that -r flag is required for reading a single CMOS parameter. * Fixed bug where CMOS checksum was being displayed with bytes reversed. Thu Dec 5 14:30:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.2.3. * Fixed bug where checksum was not being updated after changing CMOS parameter values. * Added code to verify checksum when reading CMOS parameters. * Modified program so that check_sum parameter is treated differently from other CMOS parameters. Now, -c option must be used to read/write check_sum parameter. Thu Nov 14 15:15:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.2.2. * Shortened output of usage message. Mon Nov 11 18:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.2.1. * Fixed typo in man page. Mon Nov 11 10:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.2.0. * Added hex dump stuff. Fri Nov 8 17:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.1.0. * Added -l option for displaying entries from LinuxBIOS table. * Added -d option for low-level dump of LinuxBIOS table. * Improved code that searches for LinuxBIOS table. Wed Nov 6 09:30:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov) Version 1.0.0.
