agesafetch

A tool for obtaining your firmware's embedded AGESA version on Linux.

Installation

Binaries

Pre-compiled and signed binaries are provided with all GitLab releases.

From Source

cargo install agesafetch

From PyPI

sudo pipx install --global agesafetch
# or, to run it directly without a persistent installation:
sudo pipx run agesafetch

Python Bindings

On top of the agesafetch command, the Python package also provides basic bindings for invoking the AGESA search from your own code:

import agesafetch

version: agesafetch.AGESAVersion | None = agesafetch.find_agesa_version()

Usage

agesafetch [-h]

Simply run agesafetch to invoke a search for the AGESA version in memory:

$ sudo agesafetch
:: Searching Reserved region #1 (1667 KiB)...
-> Found AGESA version: CezannePI-FP6 1.0.1.1

When run non-interactively, such as in pipes or redirections, agesafetch will automatically suppress all output except for the found version:

$ sudo agesafetch > found_version
$ cat found_version
CezannePI-FP6 1.0.1.1

Testing

agesafetch has been confirmed to work on a broad set of systems, including:

• Various desktop motherboards with
  • B450, B550, and B650 chipsets
  • X570, X670E, and X870E chipsets
