💖 Name 💖

intel_vbt_decode — Intel Video BIOS Table parser. That's the whole name-vibe: it parses Intel Video BIOS Tables (VBT) and presents the information in a human readable format. Periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

intel_vbt_decode [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

intel_vbt_decode is a tool to parse the Intel Video BIOS Tables (VBT) and present the information in a human readable format.

The preferred ways of getting the binary VBT to parse are:

1. /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_vbt (since kernel version 4.5)
2. /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_opregion
3. Using the intel_bios_dumper(1) tool.

Structure tea: the VBT consists of a VBT header, a BIOS Data Block (BDB) header, and a number of BIOS Data Blocks.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --file=FILE — Parse Video BIOS Tables from FILE.
• --devid=DEVID — Pretend to be PCI ID DEVID. Some details can be parsed more accurately if the platform is known.
• --panel-type=N — Parse the details for flat panel N. Usually this is retrieved from the Video BIOS Tables, but this can be used to override.
• --all-panels — Parse the details for all flat panels present in the Video BIOS Tables.
• --hexdump — Hex dump the blocks.
• --block=N — Dump only the BIOS Data Block number N.
