| Description: | |
| The firmware provides DMI structures as a packed list of | |
| data referenced by a SMBIOS table entry point. The SMBIOS | |
| entry point contains general information, like SMBIOS | |
| version, DMI table size, etc. The structure, content and | |
| size of SMBIOS entry point is dependent on SMBIOS version. | |
| The format of SMBIOS entry point and DMI structures | |
| can be read in SMBIOS specification. | |
| The dmi/tables provides raw SMBIOS entry point and DMI tables | |
| through sysfs as an alternative to utilities reading them | |
| from /dev/mem. The raw SMBIOS entry point and DMI table are | |
| presented as binary attributes and are accessible via: | |
| /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point | |
| /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI | |
| The complete DMI information can be obtained using these two | |
| tables. |
