Thanks I figured how to determine SLIC version with the help of an ancient MDL article. But is there a way to make acpidump selectively dump only the contents of the SLIC table? Thanks.
Have a look at the parameters of the acpidump binary: Code: PS D:\iasl-win-20210331> .\acpidump.exe -h Usage: acpidump [options] Options: -b Dump tables to binary files -h -? This help message -o <File> Redirect output to file -r <Address> Dump tables from specified RSDP -s Print table summaries only -v Display version information -vd Display build date and time -z Verbose mode Table Options: -a <Address> Get table via a physical address -c <on|off> Turning on/off customized table dumping -f <BinaryFile> Get table via a binary file -n <Signature> Get table via a name/signature -x Use RSDT instead of XSDT Invocation without parameters dumps all available tables Multiple mixed instances of -a, -f, and -n are supported Here's one way of doing what you requested: Code: PS D:\iasl-win-20210331> .\acpidump.exe -z -n SLIC -b Intel ACPI Component Architecture ACPI Binary Table Dump Utility version 20210331 Copyright (c) 2000 - 2021 Intel Corporation Writing [SLIC] to binary file: slic.dat 0x176 (374) bytes
Thanks. This is the code I ended up using: Code: for /f "tokens=4 delims=: " %%A in ('acpidump.exe -n SLIC 2^>nul ^| find /i "00E0:"') do set _slicveroffset=%%A set _detectedslicver=2.%_slicveroffset:~-1%
Would you consider a few xtra offset checks, one example - https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...support-and-chat.24902/page-1102#post-1647525 I have an x230 I7 with a qualified SLIC table, i understand that Lenovo sometimes might come with an un-qualified SLIC. If someone could provide such a bin dump I would not mind f**k up my bios a little bit and help with feedback in the development. With echo off and added echo last variable in above code: 1. Qualified SLIC, I added a v2.1 to bios 2. No SLIC
Vista / Server 2008 Update Pack is in progress, so create integrated 2021 ISO will be very easy with all released updates - PowerShell and .NETs too I will try it on my UEFI old laptop with EzWindSLIC in few weeks
@Exe Csrss any update or changes in (EFI) Bootloader? I mean compatibility with modern UEFI hardware as @Tito suggested in Past?
Thanks for feedback That forum isn't the worst, many websites are using the name of my tool to scam people for their Credit Card numbers But it's the first sign of popularity IMO
