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 that makes + lxbios recognize the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry placed in the + coreboot 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.
