| SMBIOS tables | |
| ============= | |
| The System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) table is used to deliver management | |
| information from the firmware to the operating system. The content is | |
| standardized in [1]_. | |
| In Linux you can use the dmidecode command to view the contents of the SMBIOS | |
| table. | |
| When booting via UEFI the SMBIOS table is transferred as an UEFI configuration | |
| table to the operating system. | |
| To generate SMBIOS tables in U-Boot, the CONFIG_GENERATE_SMBIOS_TABLE option | |
| must be enabled. The easiest way to provide the values to use is via the device | |
| tree. For details see | |
| :download:`smbios.txt <../device-tree-bindings/sysinfo/smbios.txt>`. | |
