1 viatool is a utility for extracting useful for extracting certain configuration
2 bits on VIA chipsets and CPUs. It is a fork of inteltool.
4 viatool is currently focused on "quirks". Quirks are device configurations that
5 cannot be accessed directly. They are implemented as hierarchical configurations
6 in the PCI or memory address spaces (index/data register pairs). Such
7 configurations refer to hardware parameters that are board specific. Those
8 parameters would otherwise be difficult to extract from a system running the
11 viatool also preserves inteltool's MSR dumps. VIA CPU and Intel CPU MSRs are
