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. 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:

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

memsize 8 bit integer (megabytes of memory on machine)

memtest 8 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)

kbdtype 8 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”

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”

columns number of columns on screen (8-bit integer)

rows number of rows on screen (8-bit integer)
