EEPROM(8S)  —  MAINTENANCE COMMANDS

NAME

eeprom − Sun-3 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. 

The field names and their possible values are:

hwupdatea valid date (including “today” and “now”)
memsize8 bit integer (megabytes of memory on machine)
memtest8 bit integer (megabytes of memory to test)
scrsize“1024x1024”, “1152x900”, “1600x1280”, or “1440x1440”
watchdog_reboot“true” or “false”
default_boot“true” or “false”
bootdev%c%c(%x,%x,%x)
kbdtype8 bit integer (0 for all Sun keyboards)
keyclick“true” or “false”
console“b&w” or “ttya” or “ttyb” or “color”
custom_logo“true” or “false”
bannerbanner string
diagdev%c%c(%x,%x,%x) - diagnostic boot device
diagpathdiagnostic boot path
ttya_no_rtsdtr“true” or “false”
ttyb_no_rtsdtr“true” or “false”
columnsnumber of columns on screen (8-bit integer)
rowsnumber of rows on screen (8-bit integer)
