dmidecode - Summary
This project is not part of the GNU Project.
Dmidecode reports information about your system's hardware as described in your system BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as a lot of other details of varying level of interest and reliability depending on the manufacturer. This will often include usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB).

Version 2.9 of dmidecode has just been released. It supports the version 2.5 of the SMBIOS specification, which includes new enumerated values for recent hardware, as well as CPU core and thread count reporting. Some HP-specific entries are now decoded. The support of Intel-based Macintosh and IA-64 machines was improved.
Note that the product name lookup table that was included in vpddecode has been dropped, because it was unreliable and hard to maintain.

Version 2.8 of dmidecode has just been released. It adds a new command line interface and many BIOS IDs to vpddecode, and a few new --string options to dmidecode.

Version 2.7 of dmidecode has just been released. It adds a new command line interface to dmidecode (and to vpdddecode to a lesser extent.) For example, it is now possible to limit the output of dmidecode to a given DMI type, or to extract a single string from the DMI table. The documentation has been updated accordingly.

I plan to release dmidecode 2.7 by the beginning of August, in two weeks or so. I would appreciate if people good give some testing to the current CVS so as to make sure I did not introduce any regression since the previous release. The most significant improvement is the new, complete command line interface.
