There are two binary tools in read-edid packages -- get-edid and
parse-edid. The get-edid is used to get the edid information by
architecture dependent method, and the upstream version only supports
x86. (Maybe this tool also could work on amd64 machines. I am not so
sure.) But the edid information also could be gotten by:
cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/CRT0/EDID > edid.info if the kernel supports.
The parse-edid is used to parse the edid information and it is useful
when you could get the edid information by other methods except by
get-edid.
So, the get-edid is only available in x86 arch, and the parse-edid is
available to any arch.
