+Module Parameters in fmc.ko
+***************************
+
+The core driver receives two module parameters, meant to help debugging
+client modules. Both parameters can be modified by writing to
+/sys/module/fmc/parameters/, because they are used when client drivers
+are devices are registered, not when fmc.ko is loaded.
+
+`dump_eeprom='
+ If not zero, the parameter asks the bus controller to dump the
+ EEPROM of any device that is registered, using printk.
+
+`dump_sdb='
+ If not zero, the parameter prints the SDB tree of every FPGA it is
+ loaded by fmc_reprogram(). If greater than one, it asks to dump
+ the binary content of SDB records. This currently only dumps the
+ top-level SDB array, though.
+
+
+EEPROM dumping avoids repeating lines, since most of the contents is
+usually empty and all bits are one or zero. This is an example of the
+output:

+The dump of SDB looks like the following; the example shows the simple
+golden gateware for the SPEC card, removing the leading timestamps to
+fit the page:
