Access the SMBIOS using Object Pascal (Delphi, FPC) https://theroadtodelphi.wordpress.com/

The SMBIOS (System Management BIOS) is a standard developed by the DMTF. The information stored in the SMBIOS includes devices manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag, processors, ports and device memory installed.
logoThe TSMBIOS project allows access the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) using the Object Pascal language (Delphi or Free Pascal).

Features

Some features of this project are
  • Source Full documented compatible with the help insight feature, available since Delphi 2005.
  • Supports SMBIOS Version from 2.1 to 2.8
  • Supports Delphi 5, 6, 7, 2005, BDS/Turbo 2006 and RAD Studio 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2, XE3, XE4, XE5, XE6, XE7, XE8, 10 Seattle.
  • Compatible with FPC 2.4.0+
  • Supports Windows, Linux (only using FPC)
  • SMBIOS Data can be obtained using WinAPI (Only Windows), WMI (Only Windows) or loading a saved SMBIOS dump
  • SMBIOS Data can be saved and load to a file
  • SMBIOS Data can be obtained from remote machines

SMBIOS Tables supported

This code shows how you can retrieve the information related to the memory device installed on the system.
