.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. |
