Changed

  • Unify calls to obtain change information from a remote or local computer, currently this functionality is only available for Windows systems,
    The logic of each platform is in its own assembly iTin.Core.Hardware.Target-System.Specification.Smbios.

    Where:

    Target-System, it can be Linux, Windows or MacOS and the platform independent logic is found in the
    iTin.Hardware.Abstractions.Specification.Smbios assembly, so that from SMBIOS a call is made independent of the target platform and this
    assembly has the responsibility of managing the final call to the platform destination.

Rename namespaces, new properties, Unified libraries (Win32 only, cross-platform) with another packages

Added

  • Add new libraries and remove old libraries for compability with another packages (Win32 only and Cross-Platform)

  • In order to unify the obtaining of one or more properties by directly consulting the structures, two new methods have been added to replace the existing ones.

    Examples:

    Single property
    Before
      DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.CreateInstance().Structures;
  object biosVersion = structures.GetProperty(DmiProperty.Bios.BiosVersion);
  if (biosVersion! = null)
  {
      Console.WriteLine ($ @ "BIOS Version> {biosVersion}");
  }
    Current Version
      DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.CreateInstance().Structures;
  QueryPropertyResult biosVersion = structures.GetProperty (DmiProperty.Bios.BiosVersion);
  if (biosVersion.Success)
  {
      Console.WriteLine ($ @ "> BIOS Version> {biosVersion.Value.Value}");
  }
    Where
      > Success
      true if current operation was executed successfully, otherwise false.
  
  > Value 
      If is success, contains an instance of PropertyItem containing property value (Value property) and property key (Key property)                
  
  > Errors
      If not success, contains a error collection, containing the query errors.
    Multiple properties
    Before
      DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.CreateInstance().Structures;
  IDictionary<int, object> systemSlots = structures.GetProperties(DmiProperty.SystemSlots.SlotId);
  bool hasSystemSlots = systemSlots.Any();
  if (!hasSystemSlots)
  {
      Console.WriteLine($" > There is no system slots information structure in this computer");
  }
  else
  {
      foreach (KeyValuePair<int, object> systemSlot in systemSlots)
      {
          int element = systemSlot.Key;
          var property = ((IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<IPropertyKey, object>>) systemSlot.Value).FirstOrDefault();
          Console.WriteLine($@" System Slot ({element}) > {property.Value}");
      }
  }
    Current Version
      DmiStructureCollection structures = DMI.CreateInstance().Structures;
  QueryPropertyCollectionResult systemSlotsQueryResult = structures.GetProperties(DmiProperty.SystemSlots.SlotDesignation);
  if (!systemSlotsQueryResult.Success)
  {
      Console.WriteLine($@" > Error(s)");
      Console.WriteLine($@"   {systemSlotsQueryResult.Errors.AsMessages().ToStringBuilder()}");
  }
  else
  {
      IEnumerable<PropertyItem> systemSlotsItems = systemSlotsQueryResult.Value.ToList();
      bool hasSystemSlotsItems = systemSlotsItems.Any();
      if (!hasSystemSlotsItems)
      {
          Console.WriteLine($@" > Sorry, The '{DmiProperty.SystemSlots.SlotId}' property has not implemented on this system");
      }
      else
      {
          int index = 0;
          foreach (var systemSlotItem in systemSlotsItems)
          {
              Console.WriteLine($@" >  System Slot ({index}) > {systemSlotItem.Value}");
              index++;
          }
      }
  }
    Where
      > Success
      true if current operation was executed successfully, otherwise false.

  > Value 
      If is success, contains an instance of IEnumerable<PropertyItem> containing properties list, 
      on each item contains an instance of PropertyItem containing property value (Value property) 
      and property key (Key property)               

  > Errors
      If not success, contains a error collection, containing the query errors.

Added

  • Adds support for System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) v3.4.0, includes:

    * Processor Information (Type 4):
  - SMBIOSCR00189: update the definition of Type 4 Processor Id for ARM64 CPUs
  - SMBIOSCR00191: add Socket LGA1200

* System Slots (Type 9):
  - SMBIOSCR00193: add OCP NIC Prior to 3.0
  - SMBIOSCR00196: Slot Type extensions for PCIe Gen6 and beyond
  - SMBIOSCR00197: Add support for CXL 2.0 devices
  - SMBIOSCR00199: Add support for EDSFF slot types

* Memory Device (Type 17):
  - SMBIOSCR00195: update description for Intel persistent memory device
  - SMBIOSCR00197: Add support for CXL 2.0 devices

  • Adds support for retrieving DMI information for remote machines using WMI

    • Currently in experimental mode, you can try to use it as it is implemented and comment if you find any problems

  • Please review the following document that indicates how to configure a remote computer to accept WMI calls

    [Connecting to WMI on a Remote Computer]

  • Usage examples

      The DMI.Instance property now is mark as obsolete use DMI.CreateInstance() method instead
  If you want to connect to a remote machine fill in an instance of the DmiConnectOptions object and use it 
  as the argument of the DMI method.CreateInstance(optionsInstance).

  Example:

  // Returns same result as DMI.Instance
  DMI dmi = DMI.CreateInstance(); 

  // Connect to remote machine.
  DMI dmi = DMI.CreateInstance(
      new DmiConnectOptions
      {
          UserName = "username to use"  
          Password = "password to use", 
          MachineNameOrIpAddress = "target remote machine name or machine ip address"
      });
