EEPROM(8S) — MAINTENANCE COMMANDS

NAME

eeprom − EEPROM display and load utility

SYNOPSIS

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

eeprom [−i] [−c] [−f filename ]

AVAILABILITY

Not available for Sun-2 systems.

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. The ‘—’ option 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.

The field names and their possible values are:

hwupdate a valid date (including “today” and “now”)

memsize 8 bit decimal integer (megabytes of memory on machine)

memtest 8 bit decimal integer (megabytes of memory to test)

scrsize “1024x1024”, “1152x900”, “1600x1280”, or “1440x1440”

watchdog_reboot “true” or “false”

default_boot “true” or “false”

bootdev charchar(hex-int, hex-int,hex-int) (with char a character, and hex-int a hexadecimal integer.)

kbdtype 8 bit decimal integer (0 for all Sun keyboards)

keyclick “true” or “false”

console “b&w” or “ttya” or “ttyb” or “color”

custom_logo “true” or “false”

banner banner string

diagdev %c%c (%x,%x,%x) - diagnostic boot device

diagpath diagnostic boot path

ttya_no_rtsdtr “true” or “false”

ttyb_no_rtsdtr “true” or “false”

ttya_use_baud “true” or “false”
