Pci debug
From ArmadeusWiki
Introduction
pci_debug is a useful tool meant to access PCIe BARx memory from userspace.
Buildroot configuration
- Readline is required to install pci_debug :
Target packages ---> Libraries ---> Text and terminal handling ---> [*] readline
- Select pci_debug in armadeus tools :
Target packages ---> Armadeus specific tools/utilities ---> [*] pcidebug
- then build your bsp with make.
Using pci_debug
- First find your pci device name with lspci :
# lspci 00:00.0 PCI bridge: Device 16c3:abcd (rev 01) 01:00.0 Unclassified device [0013]: Altera Corporation Device e001 (rev 01)
For example here, we want to access altera pci device, then name is : 01:00.0
- Launch pci_debug with the BAR number in option (-b) :
# pci_debug -s 01:00.0 -b0 # ./pci_debug -s 01:00.0 -b0 PCI debug --------- - accessing BAR0 - region size is 4194304-bytes - offset into region is 0-bytes ? Help d[width] addr len Display memory starting from addr [width] 8 - 8-bit access 16 - 16-bit access 32 - 32-bit access (default) c[width] addr val Change memory at addr to val e Print the endian access mode e[mode] Change the endian access mode [mode] b - big-endian (default) l - little-endian f[width] addr val len inc Fill memory addr - start address val - start value len - length (in bytes) inc - increment (defaults to 1) q Quit Notes: 1. addr, len, and val are interpreted as hex values addresses are always byte based PCI>
- You can then access BAR0 memory on PCI> prompt.
- Reading 0x20 values from address 0 :
PCI> d32 0 20 00000000: 12345678 12345678 12345678 12345678 00000010: 12345678 12345678 12345678 12345678 PCI>
