INTEL-MICROCODE2UCODE(8)    System Manager's Manual   INTEL-MICROCODE2UCODE(8)

NAME
       intel-microcode2ucode  -  convert  Intel  microcode.dat file into ucode
       files
SYNOPSIS
       intel-microcode2ucode [MICROCODE_FILE]
DESCRIPTION
       intel-microcode2ucode parses Intel microcode combined  text  data  file
       (which  usually  has  name microcode.dat) and splits it into individual
       binary microcode files that can be loaded by the Linux kernel.
       Generated microcode files are placed into intel-ucode directory,  which
       is  created in the current working directory, and have file name format
       of FF-MM-SS, where FF is the CPU family number, MM is the model number,
       and SS is stepping.  All three values are zero-filled to two digits and
       are hexadecimal (letters are in the lower case).
       This tool is mostly of  historic  interest,  as  Intel  ships  separate
       microcode files now.
OPTIONS
       MICROCODE_FILE
              Path  to  the microcode.dat file.  If no path has been provided,
              the default path  /lib/firmware/microcode.dat  is  used.   If  -
              (single  dash) is provided as an argument, data is read from the
              standard input.
EXIT STATUS
       0      Success.
       1      Error occurred: temporary  buffer  cannot  be  allocated,  input
              microcode file cannot be opened, microcode version and/or format
              are unknown, cannot open output file, cannot write to the output
              file.
