intel_bios_reader(1) General Commands Manual intel_bios_reader(1)NAME
intel_bios_reader - Parses an Intel BIOS and displays many of its tables
SYNOPSIS
intel_bios_reader filename
DESCRIPTION
intel_bios_reader is a tool to parse the contents of an Intel video BIOS file. The file can come from intel_bios_dumper. This can be used
for quick debugging of video bios table handling, which is harder when done inside of the kernel graphics driver.

pnpbios -- support for embedded devices on the motherboard
DESCRIPTION
The pnpbios driver enumerates embedded ISA devices on the motherboard whose BIOS supports ``Plug and Play BIOS Specification''. It assigns
ISA bus resources (interrupt line, DMA channel, I/O ports, and memory region) to each device and activates it.
If it cannot assign necessary resources to a device without causing conflict with other devices in the system, the device will not be acti-
vated and will be unavailable to programs.
CAVEATS
There is no explicit way to disable individual embedded devices. The pnpbios driver will find all devices reported by the ``Plug and Play
(PnP)'' BIOS and try to activate them all.
There is no way to explicitly assign particular resource to a device. The resource assignment is fully automatic and there is no provision
for manual override.
