Description

While looking at a system with a DIMM, I noticed a few peculiarities:

$ smbios -i 52
ID    SIZE TYPE
52    159  SMB_TYPE_MEMDEVICE (type 17) (memory device)

  Manufacturer: Micron Technology
  Serial Number: 2348040D
  Location Tag: DIMM 0
  Part Number: 36ASF2G72PZ-2G6F1   

  Physical Memory Array: 44
  Memory Error Data: 51
  Total Width: 128 bits
  Data Width: 64 bits
  Size: 17179869184 bytes
  Form Factor: 9 (DIMM)
  Set: None
  Rank: 2 (dual)
  Memory Type: 26 (DDR4)
  Flags: 0x2080
        SMB_MDF_SYNC (synchronous)
        SMB_MDF_REG (Registered (Buffered))
  Speed: 2666 MT/s
  Configured Speed: 2666 MT/s
  Device Locator: DIMM 0
  Bank Locator: P0 CHANNEL A
  Minimum Voltage: 1.20V
  Maximum Voltage: 1.20V
  Configured Voltage: 1.20V
  Memory Technology: 3 (DRAM)
    Operating Mode Capabilities: 0x8
        SMB_MOMC_BYTE_PM (Byte-accessible persistent memory)
  Firmware Revision: Unknown
  Module Manufacturer ID: 0x2c80
  Volatile Size: 16384 bytes

The first was that the Operating Mode Capabilities section had the wrong defines. What happened here was that I had an off by one in the flag bit assignments. Next, there was extra spacing at the front of it because the actual flag_printf() function unlike desc_printf() actually included spacing. With those fixed (and 12662) you now see:

ID    SIZE TYPE
52    159  SMB_TYPE_MEMDEVICE (type 17) (memory device)

  Manufacturer: Micron Technology
  Serial Number: 2348040D
  Location Tag: DIMM 0
  Part Number: 36ASF2G72PZ-2G6F1   

  Physical Memory Array: 44
  Memory Error Data: 51
  Total Width: 128 bits
  Data Width: 64 bits
  Size: 17179869184 bytes
  Form Factor: 9 (DIMM)
  Set: None
  Rank: 2 (dual)
  Memory Type: 26 (DDR4)
  Flags: 0x2080
        SMB_MDF_SYNC (synchronous)
        SMB_MDF_REG (Registered (Buffered))
  Speed: 2666 MT/s
  Configured Speed: 2666 MT/s
  Device Locator: DIMM 0
  Bank Locator: P0 CHANNEL A
  Minimum Voltage: 1.20V
  Maximum Voltage: 1.20V
  Configured Voltage: 1.20V
  Memory Technology: 3 (DRAM)
  Operating Mode Capabilities: 0x8
        SMB_MOMC_VOLATILE (Volatile memory)
  Firmware Revision: Unknown
  Module Manufacturer ID: Bank: 0x1 Vendor: 0x2c (Micron Technology)
  Volatile Size: 16384 bytes

Which all looks much better. Like in 12662 I made sure the nascent smbios test suite was clean and then double checked the jedec bits just in case (though nothing changed here).
