.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.B intel\-microcode2ucode
|
||
|
parses Intel microcode combined text data file (which usually has name
|
||
|
.BR microcode.dat )
|
||
|
and splits it into individual binary microcode files that can be loaded by the
|
||
|
Linux kernel.
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
Generated microcode files are placed into
|
||
|
.B intel-ucode
|
||
|
directory, which is created in the current working directory, and have file name
|
||
|
format of
|
||
|
.IR FF - MM - SS ,
|
||
|
where
|
||
|
.I FF
|
||
|
is the CPU family number,
|
||
|
.I MM
|
||
|
is the model number, and
|
||
|
.I SS
|
||
|
is stepping.
|
||
|
All three values are zero-filled to two digits and are hexadecimal
|
||
|
(letters are in the lower case).
|
||
|
.LP
|
||
|
This tool is mostly of historic interest, as Intel ships separate microcode
|
||
|
files now.
