Have you ever wanted to know which version of bootloader is installed on your disk(s), had the need to dump your BIOS from OS X, just curious about your own system setup or been asked to provide your setup information to others when asking for assistance?

DarwinDumper is a useful collection of already available tools, and scripts wrapped in an application framework giving you a convenient method to quickly gather a system overview of your hack or Mac.

The system dumps are saved in an organised DarwinDumperReports folder in the same directory as the main application, along with an html report showing a complete overview. And rest assured that enabling the privacy option will mask the IOPlatformSerialNumber, IOPlatformUUID, IOMACAddress(s), USB Serial Number(s), SystemSerialNumber, serial-number, fmm-mobileme-token-FMM, MLB and ROM efi vars in the dumped files and report.

The following can be read and dumped by DarwinDumper:
- ACPI tables.
- Audio codec and further info.
- Boot loaders and configuration files.
- Device-properties.
- Disk partition structure / info.
- Disk sectors (hex).
- DMI (SMBIOS).
- EDID.
- I/O Kit Registry.
- EFI Memory Map.
- EFI vars (some).
- Kernel information
- Kext List
- NVRAM.
- SMC Keys.
- LSPCI (PCI vendor & device codes) dumps.
- RTC.
- System Profiler.
- System BIOS.
- System Log(s).
- Video BIOS.

thank you for the fabulous app....

[blackosx]

I've attached a revised version of DarwinDumper to the opening post.

The changes from 2.3.4 -> 2.3.6 are:

- Added detection for the version of Clover 'boot' file and CloverXXX.efi file
- Changed bootloaders.txt and diskutil html layout to include UEFI files found.
- Added detection for Clover, Windows and ELILO when finding UEFI file named BootX64.efi.
- Added cmf's oclinfo for OpenCL info dump. (Thanks Slice).
- LPSCI html tables are now collapsable.

Can you make an option to save to other folder instead of the Desktop ?

Good point, THAT folder should be DarwinDumper App folder.

[blackosx]

Can you make an option to save to other folder instead of the Desktop ?

Thanks for the request. I'll see what I can do.

Good point, THAT folder should be DarwinDumper App folder.

I'll make that the default choice.
