5 * Fix a number of off by one errors when accessing arrays
7 * Add support for reading/writing strings from/to CMOS.

13 * Postpone most sanity checking of CMOS layout information until right
14 before a CMOS read or write operation is attempted. This fixes a
15 problem discovered by Stefan Reinauer in which lxbios was failing on
16 Opteron due to the existence of a "user_data" parameter that is 256
17 bits long. In general, postponing the sanity checks will make
18 lxbios more adaptable to changes in how LinuxBIOS stores CMOS
21 * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that makes hex dumps look a bit
24 * Merge fix from Stefan Reinauer that allows lxbios to access CMOS
25 memory beyond the first 128 bytes.

31 * Added the following options:
34 Write CMOS layout information to standard output.
37 Write the contents of CMOS memory to a binary file.
40 Read binary data from file and write it to CMOS memory.
43 Show a hex dump of all CMOS data.
46 Read binary data from a CMOS dumpfile and show a hex dump of
49 Thanks to Stefan Reinauer for suggesting the ideas for the "-Y",
50 "-b OUTPUT_FILE", and "-B INPUT_FILE" options.
52 * Added support for reading/writing CMOS parameters between 1 and 64
53 bits in size that are not necessarily aligned on byte boundaries.
55 * Reworked much of the code, cleaning up some ugly parts.
57 * Made a number of minor improvements.
59 Wed Nov 30 16:30:00 PST 2005 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
63 * Merge patch from Stefan Reinauer <stepan@openbios.org> that makes
64 lxbios recognize the LB_TAG_OPTION_CHECKSUM entry placed in the
65 coreboot table by newer versions of LinuxBIOS.
67 * Tweak formatting of code to facilitate merging future patches.
71 Fri Jun 25 18:30:00 PDT 2004 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
75 * Changed default_is_printable_fn to avoid problems displaying hex

84 Fri Mar 7 18:00:00 PST 2003 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
88 * Added -y option that tells lxbios to get CMOS layout information
89 from a file instead of from the CMOS option table.
91 * Modified command syntax so that -r flag is required for reading a
92 single CMOS parameter.
94 * Fixed bug where CMOS checksum was being displayed with bytes
97 Thu Dec 5 14:30:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
101 * Fixed bug where checksum was not being updated after changing CMOS
104 * Added code to verify checksum when reading CMOS parameters.
106 * Modified program so that check_sum parameter is treated differently
107 from other CMOS parameters. Now, -c option must be used to
108 read/write check_sum parameter.
110 Thu Nov 14 15:15:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
114 * Shortened output of usage message.
116 Mon Nov 11 18:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
120 * Fixed typo in man page.
122 Mon Nov 11 10:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
126 * Added hex dump stuff.
128 Fri Nov 8 17:00:00 PST 2002 David S. Peterson (dsp@llnl.gov)
132 * Added -l option for displaying entries from coreboot table.
134 * Added -d option for low-level dump of coreboot table.
136 * Improved code that searches for coreboot table.
