Parse and Assemble EDID

Parse and assemble EDID binary data blobs.

Usage

Parse a binary EDID data blob into a yaml file:

./edidparse < edid.bin > edid.yml

Note: The edidparse tool expects the data in binary form. Files in hex form need to be converted first, for example with:

xxd -r -p edid.hex > edid.bin

Assemble an EDID data blob based on specifications read from a yaml file:

./edidassemble < edid.yml > edid.bin

Note: The edidassemble tool writes binary data to stdout which is potentially dangerous. Redirect the output into a file or pipe.

For further usage information, run the comands with --help.

Notes

Validate the EDID binary blob with the edid-decode tool:

edid-decode -c < edid.bin
