TODO: Test UEFI functionality Fully test on 64 and 32-bit platforms ======================== | Chipsec linux driver | ======================== This module is built on/adapted from fmem 1.5.0 and LOLA (Low Level Access) NOTE: You may need run apt-get install python-dev for the Python.h header (needed for switching cpu affinity). If you already have this in a non-standard location (i.e. any other than /usr/include/python-2.7), you can manually edit the path in source/driver/linux/Makefile To build: make To load kernel module: make install - or - ./run.sh To remove kernel module: make uninstall - or - rmmod chipsec TESTED ON: Linux 3.2.6 x32 (Mint/Ubuntu) Linux 2.6.32 x32 (Ubuntu) Fedora 20 LXDE 64bit ------------- fmem 1.5.0 This module creates /dev/fmem device, that can be used for dumping physical memory, without limits of /dev/mem (1MB/1GB, depending on distribution) Tested on i386 and x64, feel free to test it on different architectures. (and send report please) Cloned from linux/drivers/char/mem.c (so GPL license apply) Original name of this tool was fdump, which was conflict with already existing tool, so name was changed to fmem Bug reports and patches welcome. 2009,2010 niekt0@hysteria.sk ----- Usage: $ make # ./run.sh # dd if=/dev/fmem of=... bs=1MB count=... ----- BUGS: if you do something like # dd if=/dev/fmem of=dump dd will never stop, even if there is no more physical RAM on the system. This is more a feature, because Linux kernel don't have stable API, and detection of mapped areas can be tricky on older kernels. Because primary usage for fmem is memory forensic, I think it is safer to specify amount of RAM by hand. -----
