NAME
decode-dimms - decode the information found in memory module SPD EEPROMs

SYNOPSIS
decode-dimms [-c] [-f [-b]] [-x|-X|-s] file ...
decode-dimms -h

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of the decode-dimms tool is to decode the information found in memory module SPD EEPROMs. The SPD data is read either from the running system or dump files. In the former case, the tool requires the spdmem kernel module to be loaded.

PARAMETERS

-f, --format
    Print nice html output

-b, --bodyonly
    Don't print html header (useful for postprocessing the output)

--side-by-side
    Display all DIMMs side-by-side if possible

--merge-cells
    Merge neighbour cells with identical values (side-by-side output only, default)

--no-merge-cells
    Don't merge neighbour cells with identical values (side-by-side output only)

-c, --checksum
    Decode completely even if checksum fails

-x  Read data from hexdump files

-X  Same as -x except treat multibyte hex data as little endian

-s  Read the SPD data from the sysctl (9) node hw.<file>.spd_data instead of from a file. One of -x, -X, or -s must be specified.

-h, --help
    Display the usage summary
