Pali, I've produced a small sample application available here: https://github.com/superm1/smbios-wmi-poc I'm still evaluating whether to update libsmbios to use this API or update individual applications to use it directly. If individual applications will be updated I also have code for fwupd ready: https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/pull/277/commits/d01b8ed8e1726dd2ab3d1d9fd46f624ced7a06a2 It won't be merged until: 1) This series is accepted and targeted to -next 2) I decide whether or not to update libsmbios instead Thanks,
