| 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. |
