It can report exact memory +configuration, firmware version, mainboard configuration, CPU version and +speed, cache configuration, bus speed, etc. on DMI-capable x86 or EFI +(IA-64) systems and on some PowerPC machines (PowerMac G4 is known to work). + +Information can be output in plain text, XML, or HTML. + +It currently supports DMI (x86 and EFI only), OpenFirmware device tree +(PowerPC only), PCI/AGP, ISA PnP (x86), CPUID (x86), IDE/ATA/ATAPI, PCMCIA +(only tested on x86), USB, and SCSI. + +On x86, lshw needs to be run as root to be able to access DMI information +from the BIOS. Running lshw as a non-root user usually gives much less +detailed information. |
