A long time, but a new release oflibrtas is available. This has a couple of
minor bug fixes, updates as well as the introduction of libofdt. Libofdt is a
small library meant to ease parsing of the device tree. Hopefully I can start moving some of the other tools over to use this instead of having them all parse the device tree individually.

A new release of librtas (1.3.3) is available; check the Changelog for the
update. There is only one fix, but it is an important one. Without the fix,
dynamic VPD (including firmware levels) can't be retrieved from systems with
large pages enabled.

Librtas provides a set of libraries for user-space access to the Run-Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) on the ppc64 architecture.
This library allows user-space programs to make RTAS calls which provide support for low-level system hardware configuration and operations, such as retrieving hardware sensor (temp, fan speed, etc.) data, setting the operator panel LEDs, getting hardware error logs, injecting artificial hardware errors (for testing), getting VPD (Vital Product Data), and loading new firmware.
This library provides a set of definitions and useful routines for analyzing RTAS events, such as parsing out sections of an RTAS event and printing their contents.
