setpci(8)                               The PCI Utilities                               setpci(8)



NAME
       setpci - configure PCI devices

SYNOPSIS
       setpci [options] devices operations...


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

       All numbers are entered in hexadecimal notation.


OPTIONS
       -v     Tells  setpci  to  be  verbose and display detailed information about configuration
              space accesses.

       -f     Tells 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.

       -D     'Demo mode' -- don't write anything to the configuration registers.  It's useful to
              try setpci -vD to see what your complex sequence of setpci operations  does  before
              you actually execute it.

       --version
              Shows setpci version. This option should be used stand-alone.



DEVICE SELECTION
       Before  each  sequence of operations you need to select which devices you wish that opera-
       tion to affect.

       -s [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]]
              Show only devices in the specified domain (in case your machine  has  several  host
              bridges,  they  can  either  share  a  common  bus number space or each of them can
              address a PCI domain of its own; domains are numbered from 0 to ffff),  bus  (0  to
              ff),  slot  (0  to 1f) and function (0 to 7).  Each component of the device address
              can be omitted or set to "*", both meaning "any value". All numbers  are  hexadeci-
              mal.  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 buses and ".4" shows  only
              the fourth function of each device.

       -d [<vendor>]:[<device>]
              Select devices with specified vendor and device ID. Both ID's are given in hexadec-
              imal and may be omitted or given as "*", both meaning "any value".


OPERATIONS
       To query value of a configuration register, just name it (either by typing its name or  by
       typing  register  address  with  optional .B, .W or .L suffix specifying register width as
       byte, word or longword).

       To set a register, write reg=values where reg is the same as you would use  to  query  the
       register  and  values  is a comma-separated list of values you want to write starting with
       the given address. Each value to be written can be specified either as a hexadecimal  num-
       ber  or as a bits:mask pair which causes the bits corresponding to binary ones in the mask
       to be changed to values of the corresponding bits in the bits


REGISTER NAMES
       setpci knows the following configuration register names. See PCI bus specs for their  pre-
       cise meaning or consult /usr/include/linux/pci.h for few comments.

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  con-
       trol 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.


       -P <dir>
              Force use of Linux /proc/bus/pci style configuration access, using <dir> instead of
              /proc/bus/pci. (Linux 2.1 or newer only)

       -H1    Use direct hardware access via Intel configuration mechanism 1. (i386 and  compati-
              ble only)

       -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
              unreliable in many cases. (i386 and compatible only)

       -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 hard-
              ware  configuration  in  any way you want without disturbing the user with requests
              for more dumps. (All systems)

       -G     Increase debug level of the library. (All systems)


EXAMPLES
       'setpci -d *:* latency_timer=40' sets the latency timer to 64 (40 hexadecimal).

       'setpci -s 0 device_id vendor_id' lists ID's of devices in slot 0 in all busses.

       '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.

       'setpci  -s 13:8.4 40.b=50:d0,04:0c,ff' works on bus 13, device 8, function 4: turns bit 7
       off and bits 6 and 4 on in the byte register 40; turns bit 3 off and bit 2 on in the  byte
       register 41; sets byte register 42 to ff.
