Linux GP-WholeThing is an all-inclusive, user-centric visualization tool specifically crafted for rectifying PCIe-related technical nuances within the Linux OS sphere. Our commitment with each iteration is to elevate the efficiency and intuitiveness of the diagnostic process, thereby enabling users to promptly identify and rectify PCIe-related complexities.
Our latest roll-out v0.2.8 enhances the tool's capabilities by integrating direct physical memory access, purposely built for usage with 64-bit addressed memory. This innovation bolsters interactions with MMIO devices and enables real-time raw memory monitoring. The augmentation offers seamless debugging and device information scrutiny, allowing users to efficiently engage with hardware and system data structures via direct physical memory access.
To launch the program, use the following command line: ./RUNCONMPAT
Feature B: Direct Physical Memory Access (64-bit): Our newest feature introduces Direct Physical Memory Access, engineered for 64-bit memory addressing.
Feature C: RUNCONMPAT Executable: This update incorporates the RUNCONMPAT executable, fashioned to ensure compatibility across a broad spectrum of popular Linux distributions.
Feature A: Extended Configuration Space Support: We've improved our support for accessing and writing to the Extended Configuration Space of PCI Express devices. First introduced in v0.2.3, this feature continues to enable appropriate access to the Extended Configuration Space with an offset range from 0x0000 to 0xFFFF. The intuitive GUI offers a visual snapshot of the accessed area, allowing users to comfortably flip through pages using the Page Down and Page Up keys for uninterrupted configuration management.
In version 0.2.8, we've successfully addressed the following issues:
- An issue where the actual values in the PCI memory space BAR on the right side of the screen were not displayed.
- Resolved a memory leak issue first discovered in version v0.2.2 and carried over to v0.2.3.
- Fixed a problem where the user was unable to exit the program using the 'Q' key.
To upgrade to the newest version of Linux GP-WholeThing v0.2.8, kindly follow these steps:
