Summary of Operation
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
lxbios is a utility for reading/writing LinuxBIOS parameters and
|
||||
displaying information from the LinuxBIOS table. It is intended for x86-based
|
||||
systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that use LinuxBIOS.
|
||||
|
||||
The LinuxBIOS table resides in low physical memory, and may be accessed
|
||||
through the /dev/mem interface. It is created at boot time by LinuxBIOS, and
|
||||
contains various system information such as the type of mainboard in use. It
|
||||
specifies locations in the CMOS (nonvolatile RAM) where the LinuxBIOS
|
||||
parameters are stored.
|
||||
|
||||
For information about LinuxBIOS, see http://www.linuxbios.org/.
|
||||
|
||||
Ideas for Future Improvements
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
1. Move the core functionality of this program into a shared library.
|
||||
2. Consider adding options for displaying other BIOS-provided information
|
||||
such as the MP table, ACPI table, PCI IRQ routing table, etc.
