   1Summary of Operation
   2--------------------
   3nvramtool is a utility for reading/writing coreboot parameters and
   4displaying information from the coreboot table.  It is intended for x86-based
   5systems (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that use coreboot.
   6
   7The coreboot table resides in low physical memory, and may be accessed
   8through the /dev/mem interface.  It is created at boot time by coreboot, and
   9contains various system information such as the type of mainboard in use.  It
  10specifies locations in the CMOS (nonvolatile RAM) where the coreboot
  11parameters are stored.

  15Ideas for Future Improvements
  16-----------------------------
  171.  Move the core functionality of this program into a shared library.
  182.  Consider adding options for displaying other BIOS-provided information
  19    such as the MP table, ACPI table, PCI IRQ routing table, etc.
