By default, the first matching method in this +list is used, but you can specify override the decision (see the \fB-A\fP switch +of \fIlspci\fP). + +.TP +.B linux-sysfs +The +.B /sys +filesystem on Linux 2.6 and newer. The standard header of the config space is available +to all users, the rest only to root. Supports extended configuration space, PCI domains, +VPD (from Linux 2.6.26), physical slots (also since Linux 2.6.26) and information on attached +kernel drivers. +.TP +.B linux-proc +The +.B /proc/bus/pci +interface supported by Linux 2.1 and newer. The standard header of the config space is available +to all users, the rest only to root. +.TP +.B intel-conf1 +Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1. Available on i386 and compatibles +on Linux, Solaris/x86, GNU Hurd, Windows, BeOS and Haiku. Requires root privileges. +.TP +.B intel-conf2 +Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2. Available on i386 and compatibles +on Linux, Solaris/x86, GNU Hurd, Windows, BeOS and Haiku. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method +is able to address only the first 16 devices on any bus and it seems to be very +unreliable in many cases. +.TP +.B mmio-conf1 +Direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1 via memory-mapped I/O. +Mostly used on non-i386 platforms. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method +needs to be properly configured via the +.B mmio-conf1.addrs +parameter. +.TP +.B mmio-conf1-ext +Direct hardware access via Extended PCIe Intel configuration mechanism 1 via memory-mapped I/O. +Mostly used on non-i386 platforms. Requires root privileges. Warning: This method +needs to be properly configured via the +.B mmio-conf1-ext.addrs +parameter. +.TP +.B ecam +Direct hardware access via PCIe ECAM (Enhanced Configuration Access Mechanism). +Available on all PCIe-compliant hardware. Requires root privileges and access +to physical memory (on Linux systems disabled CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM option). On +ACPI compatible systems is ECAM mapping read from the MCFG table specified by the +.B ecam.acpimcfg +parameter. On EFI compatible systems, ACPI MCFG table can be located in physical +memory via EFI system table specified by the +.B ecam.efisystab +parameter. On FreeBSD/NetBSD systems, physical address of ACPI MCFG table can be +located by kenv or sysctl interface when the +.B ecam.bsd +parameter is not disabled. On x86 BIOS compatible systems, ACPI MCFG table can +be located in physical memory by scanning x86 BIOS memory when the +.B ecam.x86bios +parameter is not disabled. Alternatively ECAM mappings can be specified by the +.B ecam.addrs +parameter which takes precedence over ACPI MCFG table. This option is required +on systems without ACPI and also on systems without EFI or x86 BIOS. +.TP +.B fbsd-device +The +.B /dev/pci +device on FreeBSD. Requires root privileges. +.TP +.B aix-device +Access method used on AIX. Requires root privileges. +.TP +.B nbsd-libpci +The +.B /dev/pci0 +device on NetBSD accessed using the local libpci library. +.TP +.B obsd-device +The +.B /dev/pci +device on OpenBSD. Requires root privileges. +.TP +.B dump +Read the contents of configuration registers from a file specified in the +.B dump.name +parameter. The format corresponds to the output of \fIlspci\fP \fB-x\fP. +.TP +.B darwin +Access method used on Mac OS X / Darwin. Must be run as root and the system +must have been booted with debug=0x144. +.TP +.B win32-cfgmgr32 +Device listing on Windows systems using the Windows Configuration Manager +via cfgmgr32.dll system library. This method does not require any special +Administrator rights or privileges. Configuration Manager provides only basic +information about devices, assigned resources and device tree structure. There +is no access to the PCI configuration space but libpci either tries to use +other access method to access configuration space or it provides read-only +virtual emulation based on information from Configuration Manager. Other +access method can be chosen by the +.B win32.cfgmethod +parameter. By default the first working one is selected (if any). Starting +with Windows 8 (NT 6.2) it is not possible to retrieve resources from 32-bit +application or library on 64-bit system. +.TP +.B win32-sysdbg +Access to the PCI configuration space via NT SysDbg interface on Windows +systems. Process needs to have Debug privilege, which local Administrators +have by default. Not available on 64-bit systems and neither on recent 32-bit +systems. Only devices from the first domain are accessible and only first +256 bytes of the PCI configuration space is accessible via this method. +.TP +.B win32-kldbg +Access to the PCI configuration space via Kernel Local Debugging Driver +kldbgdrv.sys. This driver is not part of the Windows system but is part of +the Microsoft WinDbg tool. It is required to have kldbgdrv.sys driver installed +in the system32 directory or to have windbg.exe or kd.exe binary in PATH. +kldbgdrv.sys driver has some restrictions. Process needs to have Debug privilege +and Windows system has to be booted with Debugging option. Debugging option can +be enabled by calling (takes effect after next boot): +.B bcdedit /debug on +.IP +Download links for WinDbg 6.12.2.633 standalone installer from Microsoft Windows +SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4: +.br +amd64: https://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools_amd64/dbg_amd64.msi +.br +ia64: https://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools_ia64/dbg_ia64.msi +.br +x86: https://download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/A/A6AC035D-DA3F-4F0C-ADA4-37C8E5D34E3D/setup/WinSDKDebuggingTools/dbg_x86.msi +.IP +Archived download links of previous WinDbg versions: +.br +https://web.archive.org/web/20110221133326/https://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx +.br +https://web.archive.org/web/20110214012715/https://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/install64bit.mspx +.TP +.B aos-expansion +Access method used on PowerPC Amiga running OS4+. Access is made through Expansion.library. It offers read and write access to configuration space. + +.SH PARAMETERS + +.PP +The library is controlled by several parameters. They should have sensible default +values, but in case you want to do something unusual (or even something weird), +you can override them (see the \fB-O\fP switch of \fIlspci\fP). + +.SS Parameters of specific access methods + +.TP +.B dump.name +Name of the bus dump file to read from. +.TP +.B fbsd.path +Path to the FreeBSD PCI device. +.TP +.B nbsd.path +Path to the NetBSD PCI device. +.TP +.B obsd.path +Path to the OpenBSD PCI device. +.TP +.B proc.path +Path to the procfs bus tree. +.TP +.B sysfs.path +Path to the sysfs device tree. +.TP +.B devmem.path +Path to the /dev/mem device. +.TP +.B mmio-conf1.addrs +Physical addresses of memory-mapped I/O ports for Intel configuration mechanism 1. +CF8 (address) and CFC (data) I/O port addresses are separated by slash and +multiple addresses for different PCI domains are separated by commas. +Format: 0xaddr1/0xdata1,0xaddr2/0xdata2,... +.TP +.B mmio-conf1-ext.addrs +Physical addresses of memory-mapped I/O ports for Extended PCIe Intel configuration mechanism 1. +It has same format as +.B mmio-conf1.addrs +parameter. +.TP +.B ecam.addrs +Physical addresses of PCIe ECAM mappings. Each mapping must contains first PCI +bus number and physical address where mapping starts. And then it may contain +the length of the mapping, the last PCI bus number and PCI domain number. When +the last PCI bus number is not provided then it is calculated from the length +of the mapping or it is assumed 0xff. When length of the mapping is provided +then it is calculated from the last PCI bus number. And when PCI domain is not +provided then 0x0 is assumed. All numbers must be supplied in hexadecimal form +(leading prefix 0x is not required). Multiple mappings are separated by commas. +Format: [domain:]start_bus[-end_bus]:start_addr[+length],... +.TP +.B ecam.acpimcfg +Path to the ACPI MCFG table.
