Install dmidecode package for ARM platforms

[ram25794]

Why I did it

The platform dump in the tech support bundle was missing the dmidecode output. This occurred because dmidecode was not installed on the DPUs running the Smart Switch master branch.

How I did it

The platform dump in the tech support bundle was missing the dmidecode output due to dmidecode not being installed on the DPUs running the Smart Switch master branch. I’ve now added dmidecode to the list of required packages to be installed on the DPU.

How to verify it

I’ve verified the tech support output on one of the devices after applying the fix, and it now includes the dmidecode output as expected.

Before Fix:

dmidecode -t1 -t2 -t 11
bash: dmidecode: command not found

After Fix:

dmidecode --help
Usage: dmidecode [OPTIONS]
Options are:
-d, --dev-mem FILE Read memory from device FILE (default: /dev/mem)

-t, --type TYPE Only display the entries of given type
-H, --handle HANDLE Only display the entry of given handle
-u, --dump Do not decode the entries
--dump-bin FILE Dump the DMI data to a binary file
--from-dump FILE Read the DMI data from a binary file
--no-sysfs Do not attempt to read DMI data from sysfs files
--oem-string N Only display the value of the given OEM string
-V, --version Display the version and exit

platform-dump# ls
bin dmidecode lsmod mlxbf-ptm-dump platform-dump.tar.gz sys_version
dmesg interrupts lspci mstdump_mt41692_pciconf0 sysfs_tree top
