Like I said in a previous post, I'd like to set fields like version, serial number on a per system basis. That's not the why, that's the what. Indeed you already wrote what you want. I'm asking *why* you want it, because what you ask for doesn't make sense, so either I don't understand your situation (not at all unlikely) or there might be a better approach to get what you want (also possible). This is partially an experiment, fwiw. Again, why modify the values at run time? Why isn't setting these values at build time enough? Kind regards //Peter Take serial number, for example. I'd like each different system that I build to have its own serial number, and building coreboot for every serial number doesn't scale.

Thanks, Rafael Hi Marc, That's true, but my intention is to modify more 'informational' fields like version, sn, etc. Nothing that would break the OS. Wrong: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?i=DMI_MATCH You can modify dmi values in coreboot - see bachmann/ot205 greets -- Christian Gmeiner, MSc https://soundcloud.com/christian-gmeiner Ok, is there a tool or library to edit DMI values ?
