decoding /dev/mem image using C

EkantoApon · 02-09-2006, 09:29 PM

I have started working on a project which involves decoding the physical memory image stored in /dev/mem file.The particular image is of the physical memory range 0x000f000 to 0x000ffff. This is where SMBIOS information is stored.Any idea how to get at the starting point(0x000f000) and then to decode the image till 0x000ffff ? I am using C in linux(Fedora 2).

Welcome to LQ!
This is not the best place to ask this question though. It would stand a better chance of being answered in the 'programming forum'. I'll ask the mods to change it for you.
