PCICONF(8)		FreeBSD	System Manager's Manual		    PCICONF(8)

NAME
     pciconf --	diagnostic utility for the PCI bus

SYNOPSIS
     pciconf -l	[-BbceVv] [device]
     pciconf -a	device
     pciconf -r	[-b | -h] device addr[:addr2]
     pciconf -w	[-b | -h] device addr value

DESCRIPTION
     The pciconf utility provides a command line interface to functionality
     provided by the pci(4) ioctl(2) interface.	 As such, some of the func-
     tions are only available to users with write access to /dev/pci, normally
     only the super-user.

     With the -l option, pciconf lists PCI devices in the following format:

     foo0@pci0:0:4:0: class=0x010000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x000f1000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
     bar0@pci0:0:5:0: class=0x000100 card=0x00000000 chip=0x88c15333 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
     none0@pci0:0:6:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x802910ec rev=0x00 hdr=0x00

     The first column gives the	driver name, unit number, and selector .  If
     there is no driver	attached to the	PCI device in question,	the driver
     name will be ``none''.  Unit numbers for detached devices start at	zero
     and are incremented for each detached device that is encountered.	The
     selector is in a form which may directly be used for the other forms of
     the command.  The second column is	the class code,	with the class byte
     printed as	two hex	digits,	followed by the	sub-class and the interface
     bytes.  The third column gives the	contents of the	subvendorid register,
     introduced	in revision 2.1	of the PCI standard.  Note that	it will	be 0
     for older cards.  The field consists of the card ID in the	upper half and
     the card vendor ID	in the lower half of the value.

     The fourth	column contains	the chip device	ID, which identifies the chip
     this card is based	on.  It	consists of two	fields,	identifying the	chip
     and its vendor, as	above.	The fifth column prints	the chip's revision.
     The sixth column describes	the header type.  Currently assigned header
     types include 0 for most devices, 1 for PCI to PCI	bridges, and 2 for PCI
     to	CardBus	bridges.  If the most significant bit of the header type reg-
     ister is set for function 0 of a PCI device, it is	a multi-function
     device, which contains several (similar or	independent) functions on one
     chip.

     If	the -B option is supplied, pciconf will	list additional	information
     for PCI to	PCI and	PCI to CardBus bridges,	specifically the resource
     ranges decoded by the bridge for use by devices behind the	bridge.	 Each
     bridge lists a range of bus numbers handled by the	bridge and its down-
     stream devices.  Memory and I/O port decoding windows are enumerated via
     a line in the following format:

	 window[1c] = type I/O Port, range 16, addr 0x5000-0x8fff, enabled

     The first value after the ``window'' prefix in the	square brackets	is the
     offset of the decoding window in config space in hexadecimal.  The	type
     of	a window is one	of ``Memory'', ``Prefetchable Memory'',	or ``I/O
     Port''.  The range	indicates the binary log of the	maximum	address	the
     window decodes.  The address field	indicates the start and	end addresses
     of	the decoded range.  Finally, the last flag indicates if	the window is
     enabled or	disabled.

     If	the -b option is supplied, pciconf will	list any base address regis-
     ters (BARs) that are assigned resources for each device.  Each BAR	will
     be	enumerated via a line in the following format:

	 bar   [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xda060000, size 131072, enabled

     The first value after the ``bar'' prefix in the square brackets is	the
     offset of the BAR in config space in hexadecimal.	The type of a BAR is
     one of ``Memory'',	``Prefetchable Memory'', or ``I/O Port''.  The range
     indicates the binary log of the maximum address the BAR decodes.  The
     base and size indicate the	start and length of the	BAR's address window,
     respectively.  Finally, the last flag indicates if	the BAR	is enabled or
     disabled.

     If	the -c option is supplied, pciconf will	list any capabilities sup-
     ported by each device.  Each capability is	enumerated via a line in the
     following format:

	 cap 10[40] = PCI-Express 1 root port

     The first value after the ``cap'' prefix is the capability	ID in hexadec-
     imal.  The	second value in	the square brackets is the offset of the capa-
     bility in config space in hexadecimal.  The format	of the text after the
     equals sign is capability-specific.

     Each extended capability is enumerated via	a line in a similar format:

     ecap 0002[100] = VC 1 max VC0

     The first value after the ``ecap''	prefix is the extended capability ID
     in	hexadecimal.  The second value in the square brackets is the offset of
     the extended capability in	config space in	hexadecimal.  The format of
     the text after the	equals sign is capability-specific.

     If	the -e option is supplied, pciconf will	list any errors	reported for
     this device in standard PCI error registers.  Errors are checked for in
     the PCI status register, the PCI-express device status register, and the
     Advanced Error Reporting status registers.

     If	the -v option is supplied, pciconf will	attempt	to load	the ven-
     dor/device	information database, and print	vendor,	device,	class and sub-
     class identification strings for each device.

     If	the -V option is supplied, pciconf will	list any vital product data
     (VPD) provided by each device.  Each VPD keyword is enumerated via	a line
     in	the following format:

	 VPD ro	PN  = '110114640C0     '

     The first string after the	``VPD''	prefix indicates if the	keyword	is
     read-only ``ro'' or read-write ``rw''.  The second	string provides	the
     keyword name.  The	text after the equals sign lists the value of the key-
     word which	is usually an ASCII string.

     If	the optional device argument is	given with the -l flag,	pciconf	will
     only list details about a single device instead of	all devices.

     All invocations of	pciconf	except for -l require a	device.	 The device
     can be identified either by a device name if the device is	attached to a
     driver or by a selector.  Selectors identify a PCI	device by its address
     in	PCI config space and can take one of the following forms:

	   +o   pcidomain:bus:device:function
	   +o   pcibus:device:function
	   +o   pcibus:device

     In	the case of an abridged	form, omitted selector components are assumed
     to	be 0.  An optional leading device name followed	by @ and an optional
     final colon will be ignored; this is so that the first column in the out-
     put of pciconf -l can be used without modification.  All numbers are base
     10.

     With the -a flag, pciconf determines whether any driver has been assigned
     to	the device identified by selector.  An exit status of zero indicates
     that the device has a driver; non-zero indicates that it does not.

     The -r option reads a configuration space register	at byte	offset addr of
     device selector and prints	out its	value in hexadecimal.  The optional
     second address addr2 specifies a range to read.  The -w option writes the
     value into	a configuration	space register at byte offset addr of device
     selector.	For both operations, the flags -b and -h select	the width of
     the operation; -b indicates a byte	operation, and -h indicates a halfword
     (two-byte)	operation.  The	default	is to read or write a longword (four
     bytes).

ENVIRONMENT
     PCI vendor	and device information is read from
     /usr/local/share/pciids/pci.ids.  If that file is not present, it is read
     from /usr/share/misc/pci_vendors.	This path can be overridden by setting
     the environment variable PCICONF_VENDOR_DATABASE.

SEE ALSO
     ioctl(2), devinfo(8), kldload(8)

HISTORY
     The pciconf utility appeared first	in FreeBSD 2.2.	 The -a	option was
     added for PCI KLD support in FreeBSD 3.0.

AUTHORS
     The pciconf utility was written by	Stefan Esser and Garrett Wollman.

BUGS
     The -b and	-h options are implemented in pciconf, but not in the underly-
     ing ioctl(2).

     It	might be useful	to give	non-root users access to the -a	and -r
     options.  But only	root will be able to execute a kldload to provide the
     device with a driver KLD, and reading of configuration space registers
     may cause a failure in badly designed PCI chips.
