Subject: Using smbios-mdr:  expected file format
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2021 14:31:44 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <DF4PR8401MB063422AB09B179DBD08A32F48F199@DF4PR8401MB0634.NAMPRD84.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (raw)

We have a method to transfer SMBIOS tables to the BMC (a legacy HPE-specific method implemented in our UEFI firmware), and on the BMC side, we can create a file at /var/lib/smbios/smbios2.  We have also integrated smbios-mdr into the build.  I'd like to match up our file format with what is expected by the smbios-mdr code to unlock all the goodness onto dbus.

Is there any documentation on the expected format of the file?  I gather there's a header (struct MDRSMBIOSHeader) But what structure is imposed over the rest of the data.  I'm hoping its something as simple as a concatenated set of SMBIOS records as defined in the spec (header(type, length, handle), type-specific-data, double-nulls).

Thanks,

Mike
