EFI not identified on Mac7,1?

[MyNameIsMeerkat]

Hi Harry,

So the X86PlatformPlugin error seems to an issue with the native OS X system_profiler system command that the EFIgyLite_cli script uses to gather some of the version data it sends to the API. From other reports of it I can find it looks like something that is specific to the system_profiler that ships with 10.10 and a quick look around didn't give a clear consensus as to what causes it. So while the error is not a bug with EFIgy itself, the spurious output that is confusing the rest of the output from the client is definitely something that should be taken care of.

I can't reproduce the error myself so I took a bit of a shot in the dark that suppressing the stderr output of the os.Popen() that is used to call to the system_profiler command itself may stop the confused output you're seeing (but won't address the root cause of the error of course).

As I am unable to reproduce the issue if you could test with the latest version that I have committed (diff here and let me know whether you're still seeing the errors in the EFIgyLite_cli output that would be awesome.

Hello MyNameIsMeerkat,

yes, output is suppressed, but yes, root problem not solved and EFI-version not recognized. This is the new output:

Hi HarryFJ,

The output you show is EFIgy working as expected, our data shows that the iMac7,1 model has never received an EFI firmware update from Apple and the output messages that. There is no problem here other than Apple not having released EFI firmware updates for your Mac hardware.

OK, thank you for your info!
