EEPROM(8S) — MAINTENANCE COMMANDS

NAME

eeprom − EEPROM display and load utility

SYNOPSIS

eeprom [−i] [−] [−f filename ] [field [ =value ]] ...

eeprom [−i] [−c] [−f filename ]

DESCRIPTION

eeprom displays or changes the values of fields in the EEPROM. It processes fields in the order given. When processing a field accompanied by a value, eeprom makes the indicated alteration to the EEPROM; otherwise it displays the field’s value. When given no field specifiers, eeprom displays the values of all EEPROM fields. A ‘−’ flag specifies that fields and values are to be read from stdin (one field or field=value per line).

eeprom verifies the EEPROM checksums and complains if they are incorrect; if the −i flag is specified, erroneous checksums are ignored. If the −c flag is specified, all incorrect checksums are recomputed and corrected in the EEPROM.

OPTIONS

−i Ignore bad checksums.

−f filename
Use filename as the EEPROM device.

−c Correct bad checksums.

− Read field names and values from stdin.

Some field names and their possible values are:

MODEL model name (read only)

BOOTMODE “auto” or “manual”

MASTER slot number of master CPU

DISPLAYRES “1024x1024”, “1152x900”, or “1600x1280”

TTYA_MODE “baud rate, character size, parity, stop bits” for port A. The default value is “9600,8,n,1”.

TTYB_MODE “baud rate, character size, parity, stop bits” for port B. The default value is “9600,8,n,1”.

DEFAULTROOT [proto.]device([controller, unit, devspecific])

DEFAULTSWAP [proto.]device([controller, unit, devspecific])

DEFAULTBOOT UNIX filename

CONSOLE device([controller, unit, devspecific])

DIAGBOOT [proto.]device([controller, unit, devspecific])filename

TZ timezone string (system V format)
