Video bios extraction about uefitool

[cyrozap]

Wow, I completely forgot UEFIExtract existed... In that case, I agree, we can just use tools like grep to find what we need. As a simple test, running grep -r --include="body.bin" -l "VGA Compatible BIOS" "3 BIOS region" | grep "0 Raw section" successfully found the VGA BIOS for my laptop.

Hi,

it can be done for sure, but will require a bit of CSMCORE parsing, that I can't legally implement from scratch because of my NDA with AMI.
The easiest solution right now is to use UEFIExtract to extract all image contents into a folder, and then any tool suitable for searching in multiple binary files (bgrep, for example) to search for a file containing VBIOS.
I will thin about it anyway, perhaps I could implement it without any NDA breaks after all.

Created #27 with this proposal as initial one.

There are some simple methods here which I wouldn't think would violate any NDA's.

I don't think this special feature belongs to UEFITool or UEFIExtract, more like to a script that parses UEFIExtract output (.dump directory) to find any files the user want.
Will try to convince someone to write it. :)

Good, I'll close this issue, because the problem is solved and I won't dig into this further.
