Hi,
I have been experimenting a bit with lua.c32 and I have created a small
lua.c32 wiki page at:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Lua.c32
With my minimal knowledge about Lua (and the inconvenience of not being
able to copy&paste or edit scripts) I discovered that the dmi module has 2
functions (supported, gettable) and a syslinux module with 1 function
(run_command).
Do we have some information available about these functions ? And what is
planned for Lua in the future, I haven't seen this discussed here ?
What could be useful is:
- a way to find the boot-method (and device/name) (syslinux.bootloader,
syslinux.bootdevice)
- a way to query syslinux information (syslinux.version, syslinux.api)
- a way to provide syslinux a generated .cfg (syslinux.load())
- a way to query for pci device (and match pci.ids or modules.list)
- a way to query other hardware info
- an implementation of the os module, now one cannot exit lacking
os.exit()
- the dmi module could export its information as module variables, rather
than a function that exports a table
For the current functionality I'd like to include some examples on the
Wiki page.
