SMBIOS/DMI data creation

SMBIOS/DMI data creation

[Shaveta Leekha]

Hi,

I was adding SMBIOS DMI data in UEFI for our ARM64 platform.
One patch that I referred is of ARM JUNO platform:
	ArmPlatformPkg/ArmJunoPkg: Create SMBIOS/DMI data	for Juno

In it, almost all SMBIOS table entries/structures are populated statically with information.
Is it preliminary support? can we fill most of the information like:
	Memory module information
	Cache related info etc by reading from registers or from system at run time instead of filling it statically?

Any views?

Thanks and Regards,
Shaveta

I think so.

I think that would be the nicest way to do it.  Static configuration
isn't ideal, IMO.  But on a board like Juno, where the config isn't
likely to change, I think it's acceptable to hard code it; or at
least, it's better than doing nothing.
