#dmidecode needs testing on non linux https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/dmidecode-devel/2025-06/msg00020.html if you have time and ressources, give them a hand #freebsd #bsd #netbsd #openbsd #dragonfly #illumos
Do not ask users to share the output of #dmidecode without strong need, as it contains data some people would prefer to keep privat (like serial numbers for board, chassis, …).
Instead tell them to share the output of the following command, which usually suffices (for example to generate #kernel quirks):
grep '' /sys/class/dmi/id/* 2>/dev/null
[Edits: grep command updated after valid critique and good suggestions from @Aissen and @lkundrak]
Anyone got any idea on how to decode Processor/CPU ID field from dmidecode? Or maybe explain the format? Does Endiness matter?
