decode-dimms
Decode the information found in memory module SPD EEPROMs
root@kali:~# decode-dimms -h
Usage: /usr/bin/decode-dimms [-c] [-f [-b]] [-x|-X file [files..]]
/usr/bin/decode-dimms -h
-f, --format Print nice html output
-b, --bodyonly Don't print html header
(useful for postprocessing the output)
--side-by-side Display all DIMMs side-by-side if possible
--merge-cells Merge neighbour cells with identical values
(side-by-side output only, default)
--no-merge-cells Don't merge neighbour cells with identical values
(side-by-side output only)
-c, --checksum Decode completely even if checksum fails
-x, Read data from hexdump files
-X, Same as -x except treat multibyte hex
data as little endian
-h, --help Display this usage summary
Hexdumps can be the output from hexdump, hexdump -C, i2cdump, eeprog and
likely many other progams producing hex dumps of one kind or another. Note
that the default output of "hexdump" will be byte-swapped on little-endian
systems and you must use -X instead of -x, otherwise the dump will not be
parsed correctly. It is better to use "hexdump -C", which is not ambiguous.
decode-edid
decode-vaio
Decode the information found in the Sony Vaio laptop identification EEPROMs
root@kali:~# decode-vaio -h
# Sony Vaio EEPROM Decoder version 1.7 by Jean Delvare
Vaio EEPROM not found. Please make sure that the at24 or eeprom module is loaded.
i2c-stub-from-dump
Feed i2c-stub with dump files
root@kali:~# i2c-stub-from-dump -h
Usage: i2c-stub-from-dump <addr>[,<addr>,...] <dump file> [<dump file> ...]
i2cdetect
Detect I2C chips
root@kali:~# i2cdetect -h
Error: Unsupported option "-h"!
Usage: i2cdetect [-y] [-a] [-q|-r] I2CBUS [FIRST LAST]
i2cdetect -F I2CBUS
i2cdetect -l
I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
If provided, FIRST and LAST limit the probing range.
i2cdump
Examine I2C registers
root@kali:~# i2cdump -h
Error: Unsupported option "-h"!
Usage: i2cdump [-f] [-y] [-r first-last] [-a] I2CBUS ADDRESS [MODE [BANK [BANKREG]]]
I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
ADDRESS is an integer (0x08 - 0x77, or 0x00 - 0x7f if -a is given)
MODE is one of:
b (byte, default)
w (word)
W (word on even register addresses)
s (SMBus block, deprecated)
i (I2C block)
c (consecutive byte)
Append p for SMBus PEC
i2cget
Read from I2C/SMBus chip registers
root@kali:~# i2cget -h
Error: Unsupported option "-h"!
Usage: i2cget [-f] [-y] [-a] I2CBUS CHIP-ADDRESS [DATA-ADDRESS [MODE [LENGTH]]]
I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
ADDRESS is an integer (0x08 - 0x77, or 0x00 - 0x7f if -a is given)
MODE is one of:
b (read byte data, default)
w (read word data)
c (write byte/read byte)
s (read SMBus block data)
i (read I2C block data)
Append p for SMBus PEC
LENGTH is the I2C block data length (between 1 and 32, default 32)
i2cset
Set I2C registers
root@kali:~# i2cset -h
Error: Unsupported option "-h"!
Usage: i2cset [-f] [-y] [-m MASK] [-r] [-a] I2CBUS CHIP-ADDRESS DATA-ADDRESS [VALUE] ... [MODE]
I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
ADDRESS is an integer (0x08 - 0x77, or 0x00 - 0x7f if -a is given)
MODE is one of:
c (byte, no value)
b (byte data, default)
w (word data)
i (I2C block data)
s (SMBus block data)
Append p for SMBus PEC
i2ctransfer
Send user-defined I2C messages in one transfer
root@kali:~# i2ctransfer -h
Error: Unsupported option "-h"!
Usage: i2ctransfer [-f] [-y] [-v] [-V] [-a] I2CBUS DESC [DATA] [DESC [DATA]]...
I2CBUS is an integer or an I2C bus name
DESC describes the transfer in the form: {r|w}LENGTH[@address]
1) read/write-flag 2) LENGTH (range 0-65535, or '?')
3) I2C address (use last one if omitted)
DATA are LENGTH bytes for a write message. They can be shortened by a suffix:
= (keep value constant until LENGTH)
+ (increase value by 1 until LENGTH)
- (decrease value by 1 until LENGTH)
p (use pseudo random generator until LENGTH with value as seed)
Example (bus 0, read 8 byte at offset 0x64 from EEPROM at 0x50):
# i2ctransfer 0 w1@0x50 0x64 r8
Example (same EEPROM, at offset 0x42 write 0xff 0xfe ... 0xf0):
# i2ctransfer 0 w17@0x50 0x42 0xff-
libi2c-dev
I2C devices are usually controlled by a kernel driver. Using this library it is also possible to access all devices on an adapter from userspace and without the knowledge of Linux kernel internals.
This package contains what you need for compiling sources that use this library in your own code.
Installed size: 34 KB
How to install: sudo apt install libi2c-dev
Dependencies:
- libi2c0
