History

Stefan Reinauer 14e2277962 Since some people disapprove of white space cleanups mixed in regular commits while others dislike them being extra commits, let's clean them up once and for all for the existing code. If it's ugly, let it only be ugly once :-) Signed-off-by: Stefan Reinauer <stepan@coresystems.de> Acked-by: Stefan Reinauer <stepan@coresystems.de> git-svn-id: svn://svn.coreboot.org/coreboot/trunk@5507 2b7e53f0-3cfb-0310-b3e9-8179ed1497e1		2010-04-27 06:56:47 +00:00

Summary of Operation
--------------------
nvramtool is a utility for reading/writing coreboot parameters and
displaying information from the coreboot table.  It is intended for x86-based
systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that use coreboot.

The coreboot table resides in low physical memory, and may be accessed
through the /dev/mem interface.  It is created at boot time by coreboot, and
contains various system information such as the type of mainboard in use.  It
specifies locations in the CMOS (nonvolatile RAM) where the coreboot
parameters are stored.

For information about coreboot, see http://www.coreboot.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.
