| Summary of Operation |
| -------------------- |
| nvramtool is a utility for reading/writing coreboot parameters and |
| displaying information from the coreboot table. It is intended for x86-based |
| systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that use coreboot. |
| |
| The coreboot table resides in low physical memory, and may be accessed |
| through the /dev/mem interface. It is created at boot time by coreboot, and |
| contains various system information such as the type of mainboard in use. It |
| specifies locations in the CMOS (nonvolatile RAM) where the coreboot |
| parameters are stored. |
| |
| For information about coreboot, see http://www.coreboot.org/. |

| Ideas for Future Improvements |
| ----------------------------- |
| 1. Move the core functionality of this program into a shared library. |
| 2. Consider adding options for displaying other BIOS-provided information |
| such as the MP table, ACPI table, PCI IRQ routing table, etc. |
