.IX setpci
.SH NAME
setpci \- configure PCI devices
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B setpci
.RB [ options ]
.B devices
.BR operations ...

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.B setpci
is a utility for querying and configuring PCI devices.

All numbers are entered in hexadecimal notation.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -v
Tells
.I setpci
to be verbose and display detailed information about configuration space accesses.
.TP
.B -f
Tells
.I setpci
not to complain when there's nothing to do (when no devices are selected).
This option is intended for use in widely-distributed configuration scripts
where it's uncertain whether the device in question is present in the machine
or not.
.TP
.B -D
`Demo mode' -- simulate configuration space accesses instead of really doing them.
It's useful to try
.B setpci -vD
to see what your complex sequence of
.B setpci
operations does before you actually execute it.
.TP
.B --version
Shows
.I setpci
version. This option should be used standalone.


.SH DEVICE SELECTION
.PP
Before each sequence of operations you need to select which devices you wish that
operation to affect.
.TP
.B -s [[<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]]
Select devices in specified bus, slot and function. Each component of the device
address can be omitted or set as "*" meaning "any value". All numbers are
hexadecimal.  E.g., "0:" means all devices on bus 0, "0" means all functions of device 0
on any bus, "0.3" selects third function of device 0 on all busses and ".4" selects only
fourth function of each device.
.TP
.B -d [<vendor>]:[<device>]
Select devices with specified vendor and device ID. Both ID's are given in
hexadecimal and may be omitted or given as "*" meaning "any value".

.SH OPERATIONS
.PP
To query value of a configuration register, just name it (either by typing its name or
by typing register address with optional
.BR .B ,
.B .W
or
.B .L
suffix specifying register width as byte, word or longword).
.PP
To set a register, write
.BR reg = values
where
.B reg
is the same you would use to query the register and
.B values
is a comma-separated list of values you want to write starting with the given
address.

.SH REGISTER NAMES
.PP
.B setpci
knows the following configuration register names. See PCI bus specs for their precise
meaning or consult
.B /usr/include/linux/pci.h
for few comments.

.SH PCILIB OPTIONS
The PCI utilities use PCILIB (a portable library providing platform-independent
functions for PCI configuration space access) to talk to the PCI cards. The following
options control parameters of the library, especially what access method it uses.
By default, PCILIB uses the first available access method and displays no debugging
messages. Each switch is accompanied by a list of hardware/software configurations
it's supported in.

.TP
.B -P <dir>
Force use of Linux /proc/bus/pci style configuration access, using
.B <dir>
instead of /proc/bus/pci. (Linux 2.1 or newer only)
.TP
.B -H1
Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1. (i386 and compatible only)
.TP
.B -H2
Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 2. Warning: This method
is able to address only first 16 devices on any bus and it seems to be very
unrealiable in many cases. (i386 and compatible only)
.TP
.B -S
Use PCI access syscalls. (Linux on Alpha and UltraSparc only)
.TP
.B -F <file>
Extract all information from given file containing output of lspci -x. This is very
useful for analysis of user-supplied bug reports, because you can display the
hardware configuration in any way you want without disturbing the user with
requests for more dumps. (All systems)
.TP
.B -G
Increase debug level of the library. (All systems)

.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
`setpci -d *:* latency_timer=40' sets the latency timer to 64 (40 hexadecimal).
.PP
`setpci -s 0 device_id vendor_id' lists ID's of devices in slot 0 in all busses.
.PP
`setpci -s 12:3.4 3c.l=1,2,3' writes longword 1 to register 3c, 2 to register 3d
and 3 to register 3e of device at bus 12, slot 3, function 4.
