The Log Change Token is the only part of the table which is expected to be updated at runtime. It indicates that the BIOS event log has changed, so whoever is interested in the information can read the BIOS event log again. This is not yet supported by dmidecode, but can be accessed from sysfs on some systems: /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/15-0/system_event_log However this is not going to help with all the other changes that can happen to the system, such as hardware hot-plugging or hot-removal. The fact that such changes are not reflected dynamically in the DMI table is a limitation of the specification so there's nothing we can do about it at the OS or application level. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dmidecode-devel
