It is a fork of inteltool. - -viatool is currently focused on "quirks". Quirks are device configurations that -cannot be accessed directly. They are implemented as hierarchical configurations -in the PCI or memory address spaces (index/data register pairs). Such -configurations refer to hardware parameters that are board specific. Those -parameters would otherwise be difficult to extract from a system running the -vendor's firmware. - -viatool also preserves inteltool's MSR dumps. VIA CPU and Intel CPU MSRs are -nearly identical. |
