Read smbios2 file failed

[Thang Nguyen]

Hi Andrei,

I see output of "dmidecode --dump-bin" follows SMBIOS specification. As 
the data for smbios-mdr does not follow this, do you know about the 
document or any information I can reference to prepare data to send to BMC??


Best Regards,

Thang Q. Nguyen
