We actually have a library for dealing with SMBIOS in the OS today: https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/tree/master/usr/src/lib/libsmbios https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/uts/common/sys/smbios.h It's used by a core OS command, smbios(1M), to interrogate the SMBIOS tables for display. The same code is also used by various core OS libraries and the kernel as required. It definitely works on UEFI machines; e.g., on an Intel NUC to which I have access: $ smbios -t 2 IDSIZE TYPE 2 115 SMB_TYPE_BASEBOARD (type 2) (base board) Manufacturer: Intel Corporation Product: NUC6i7KYB Version: H90766-405 Serial Number: [REDACTED] Asset Tag: Location Tag: Default string Chassis: 3 Flags: 0x9 SMB_BBFL_MOTHERBOARD (board is a motherboard) SMB_BBFL_REPLACABLE (board is field-replacable) Board Type: 0xa (motherboard) The source for the "dmi_info" command that comes with DDU seems to be here: https://github.com/OpenIndiana/ddu/blob/oi/hipster/utils/dmi_info/dmi.c It looks like it would be relatively easy to port it to use libsmbios from the OS. You would include and link with -lsmbios and you should be able to get going. Note that there is not currently a strong stability guarantee around the libsmbios ABI, but if you pass a specific version (e.g., SMB_VERSION_34) instead of just the latest version token (i.e., SMB_VERSION, as we do in the gate) then things will probably be OK. In practice, we try pretty hard to keep existing binaries working -- and we may be able to make stronger guarantees and provide manual pages and so on if there are consumers outside the gate.

Re: [oi-dev] OI no longer automounts USB sticks
When I initially said that I could reproduce the problem, (I am testing on this completely new 2021.04 system) I didn't check that rmvolmgr was enabled. I should have verified that to begin with ... I can still reproduce the problem that you reported, but for example with an old Olympus camera SmartMedia card reader, it is automounted fine as follows: # svcadm restart hal # svcadm restart rmvolmgr # eject -l /dev/dsk/c4t1d0s2cdrom,cdrom0,cd,cd0,sr,sr0 /dev/dsk/c6t0d0p0:1 rmdisk4,USBSLACK,/media/USBSLACK /dev/dsk/c5t0d1p0:1 rmdisk1,/media/2.0 Reader-SM-xD Of course restarting should not be necessary but this is a workaround.
