How to change PCI Configuration space?

Hi List,

I want to change the PCI Configuration space of a particular device in
my system. I am trying to use the "pcitweak" utility to do so, but am
not suceeding. I would appreciate if some body could provide me any
pointers in how to do so.

In this case, I want to change the value at offset 64:

$ pcitweak -r 5:9:1 64
0x01000001 //original value

$ pcitweak -w 5:9:1 64 0x02000002 //new value

$ pcitweak -r 5:9:1 64
0x01000001 //no change?

TIA,

Rajat Jain

Don't use pcitweak. Use setpci instead.

himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain

Dear Rajat Jain:

'man pcitweak' indicates that it requires root privileges.
the '$' prompt in your console indicates 'user' privileges.
My 'root' prompt is a '#'.
I suggest that you do not have 'root' privileges when
executing a '-w' (write) command.

HTH, Chuck

platfoms pcitweak can only be run by the root user."

Un ... I'm sorry ... I put that "$" prompt manually here in this mail.
I AM the root and working on the "#" prompt. I would appreciate if
somebody can tell me any other commands than "pcitweak" and "setpci"
to change PCI configuration space.

Thanks & Regards,

Rajat Jain

Hi, Rajat Jain:

Sorry, I cannot help. Just for fun, I used pcitweak, scanpci, lspci,
and 'cat /proc/pci' and looked at my two rtl8139 ethernet cards. I
think I found that they have 256 bytes of memory; one card uses memory
0x3e014000 - 0x3e140ff or 0x100 bytes.
(cat /proc/pci |grep -A 1 -B 4 ealtek)

pcitweak read 32 bits (4 bytes) so
pcitweak 0:9:0 -r 0
would show bytes offset 0, 1, 2, & 3.

pcitweak 0:9:0 -r[-w] 64 [value]
would read[write] bytes offset 64, 65, 66, 67
or 0x100, 0x101, 0x102, 0x103
which is undefined. There might be no RAM memory at byte offset 64.

I also used pcitweak 0:9:0 -r 4096, which I assume is outside the
configuration space of my pci device, but pcitweak dutifully displayed
output. :-|

Hopefully you are not writing to ROM. :-|

Good luck,
Chuck

(This response is limited to linux-newbie, although
there should be a better list-server for this depth of a problem.)
