Breaks in a table

Open LSSoniX opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Hello Plato! :)

Look at this please

MCE v1.70.0 + DB 207 Example BIOS file https://download.asrock.com/BIOS/1700/Z690%20Taichi(1.43)ROM.zip

Command mce.py [-ubu] -skip -exit

Result screen

The main table is bursting with messages about new microcode. Is that how it should be now?

Thanks.

Hi! Do you mean that the DB is outdated?

No, not a DB. Displaying the table. It just didn't happen before. In my opinion, it has always been like this - first, a complete table with all microcodes, and below the table there are messages about new microcodes.

Ah, I see. I guess -ubu parameter does not show the input filename so that's why the confusion. This is how it actually looks (notice the "temp" files):

As you can see, the "single/temp" microcodes are different input files. This is because the initial two microcodes include "Extended Headers" so each one includes 2 microcodes basically, so 4 in total.

MCE parses the initial 2 microcodes (first table) and IF it finds extended microcodes, it extracts them and automatically re-inputs them to parse them separately. It stores them in temp files and parses them after the initial ones. So they appear in different tables because they are different files.
