+# Usage
+
+Install the latest meson:
+```
+$ pip3 install --user meson
+$ source ~/.profile
+```
+Build [ipmi-blob-tool](https://github.com/openbmc/ipmi-blob-tool) library:
+```
+$ cd ~
+$ git clone https://github.com/openbmc/ipmi-blob-tool.git
+$ cd ipmi-blob-tool
+$ meson setup builddir
+$ cd builddir
+$ meson compile
+```
+Build and run `smbios_blob_transfer`:
+```
+$ cd ~
+$ git clone https://github.com/Kostr/smbios_blob_transfer.git
+$ cd smbios_blob_transfer
+$ g++ smbios_blob_transfer.cpp -L~/ipmi-blob-tool/builddir/src/ -lipmiblob -I~/ipmi-blob-tool/src/ -o smbios_blob_transfer
+$ sudo LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/ipmi-blob-tool/builddir/src/ ./smbios_blob_transfer
+```
+After the program execution this file should be created on the BMC:
+```
+/var/lib/smbios/smbios2
+```
+
+If you don't want to pass all the parameters for dynamic library linking, you can install `ipmi-blob-tool` to your system.

+# `smbios_transfer.go`
+
+This program was written as an alternative to Go utility [smbios_transfer.go](https://github.com/u-root/u-root/blob/main/cmds/exp/smbios_transfer/smbios_transfer.go).
+
+If you want to, you can use it instead.
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/u-root/u-root.git
+$ cd u-root/cmds/exp/smbios_transfer/
+$ sudo go run smbios_transfer.go
+```
+
+If you don't have `go`, you'll need to install it. If you can't use package manager you can find all the downloads at the [https://go.dev/dl/](https://go.dev/dl/):
+```
+$ cd ~
+$ wget https://go.dev/dl/go1.19.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+$ sudo tar -xvf go1.19.2.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+$ sudo mv go /usr/local
+```
+
+Add this to your `~/.profile`:
+```
+export GOPATH=$HOME/go
+export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
+```
+
+Now check that `go` is working:
+```
+source ~/.profile
+$ go version
+go version go1.19.2 linux/amd64
+```
+
+Access to smbios table files is not available for ordinary user, so you'll need to execute go program from root:
+```
+$ sudo -s
+```
+Therefore you need to midify `~/.profile` for the root user as well:
+```
+export GOPATH=$HOME/go
+export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin:$GOPATH/bin
+```
+Check that `go` is working for root:
+```
+$ source ~/.profile
+$ go version
+go version go1.19.2 linux/amd64
+```
+
+Now run the `smbios_transfer.go` program:
+```
+$ cd ~/u-root/cmds/exp/smbios_transfer/
+$ go run smbios_transfer.go
+```
+Alternatively you can build the executable and run it without `go`:
+```
+$ go build smbios_transfer.go
+$ ./smbios_transfer
+```
+

+Two implementations are available:
+- [transfer SMBIOS tables from the UEFI firmware (`DXE_DRIVER`)](UEFI)
+- [transfer SMBIOS tables from the OS](OS)
