The URL mentioned above (and in lots of other files in lxbios) gives me a 404 not found.
And while we're doing an unconditional "s/linuxbios/coreboot/" everywhere, it may be good to explain why some things are named "lxbios" when we purge all mentioning of LinuxBIOS. (Some places where LinuxBIOS is mentioned should probably be left unchanged to preserve historic correctness.)

There's http://www.coreboot.org/Lxbios.

The utility will be renamed, too. There are lots of linuxbios references everywhere, so for safety, not everything will be done at once. Svn doesn't like renaming directories with changes.
The rename was not at all unconditional, all occurences were checked.
(Some places where LinuxBIOS is mentioned should probably be left unchanged to preserve historic correctness.)
In addition to that, I left some occurences of the name in LANL license headers.

I recommend not touching those LANL headers.

There's http://www.coreboot.org/Lxbios.
Yeah. As we're the "upstream" developers now, we should use that URL everywhere.

Suggestions for the new name?
We might even keep the name, it doesn't contain "linuxbios" in it, just "lx", which could mean different things, e.g. "Lightweight, eXtensible". The "bios" part is not necessarily a problem, as lxbios can indeed dump CMOS bytes (which are used by proprietary BIOSes)...

Yes, I wouldn't do all in one step.
Svn doesn't like renaming directories with changes.
Yep, please do renames in an extra step; one commit which does _only_ a rename (svn mv), so it's better readable in 'svn log' or in trac. No changes should be done in commits which contain 'svn mv's.
Uwe.

nvramtool or maybe just nvram
I like this one. Though I think the powerpc folks have a "nvram" tool, too.

Let's avoid trouble here, nvram is too generic anyway (IMO).
I like nvramtool (if we rename it at all -- lxbios is fine too)

I like nvramtool or cmostool. Both suggest usefulness besided coreboot.

nvramtool. cmostool has already been used too many times.

plus, it really has nothing to do with handling mosfets.
