Type 9 offset 0x0d / offset 0x0f / offset 0x10 value should be 0xff for non-PCI

Tue Dec 1 05:08:26 UTC 2020

What we use is OCP PCIE NIC card.
I think OCP NIC card is PCI protocol.

SMBIOS spec 3.4 has new definition for slot type. Those failures below think the slot type 0x24 (Storage card/NVME drive) and 0x26 (OCP NIC card) on our system is  non-PCI device.
I think the test is not correct and need to update for SMBIOS spec v3.4 ?

Do you mean OCP is a PCI(e) protocol too?

Subject: Type 9 offset 0x0d / offset 0x0f / offset 0x10 value should be 0xff for non-PCI

Hi Alex,

We encountered the following FWTS issue and we tried to track the medium FAILED item by SMBIOS SPEC.
It seems that type 9 offset 0x0d / offset 0x0f / offset 0x10 value should be 0xff for non-PCI, If the value is 0 for a single-segment topology, please refer to the following green part.
But if type 9 offset 0x0d / offset 0x0f / offset 0x10 value is not 0xff or 0, Is this a BIOS issue? Please refer to the following orange part.
Would you please help us to confirm it?

Hi Bryan,

FWTS also checks for the SMBIOS version (= 3.3 currently) like below. In theory FWTS will skip the dmicheck test. Did you also upgrade your SMBIOS version to 3.4?

if (version > DMI_VERSION) {
fwts_skipped(fw,
"SMBIOS version %" PRIu16 ".%" PRIu16
" is not supported by the dmicheck "
"test. This test only supports SMBIOS version "
"%" PRIu16 ".%" PRIu16 " and lower.",
VERSION_MAJOR(version), VERSION_MINOR(version),
VERSION_MAJOR(DMI_VERSION), VERSION_MINOR(DMI_VERSION));
return FWTS_ERROR;
}

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for keeping us posted. I will add SMBIOS 3.4 support to fwts.
