PCI driver not writing to config space
by Giriprasad Deviprasad 20 Jul '11

Hi All, I have a pci driver like: define VENDOR_ID 0x1415 #define DEVICE_ID1 0xc140 #include<linux/module.h> #include<linux/version.h> #include<linux/kernel.h> #include<linux/pci.h> #include<linux/ioport.h> #include<asm/unistd.h> #include<linux/slab.h> #include<linux/fs.h> #include<asm/uaccess.h> #include<asm/io.h> #include<linux/kdev_t.h> #include<asm/fcntl.h> #include<linux/sched.h> #include<linux/wait.h> #include<linux/errno.h> #include<asm/irq.h> #include<asm/ioctl.h> #include<linux/string.h> #include<linux/interrupt.h> init_module (void) { short int curr_device; dev = pci_find_device (VENDOR_ID, DEVICE_ID1, NULL); j = pci_enable_device (dev); curr_device = 0; printk("Init : Reading and writing Config space.........\n"); pci_read_config_word (dev, 0x02, (u16 *)&curr_device); printk("Init : Current Device id = %x\n", (curr_device & 0x00FFFF)); curr_device = 0xc145; pci_write_config_word (dev, 0x02, curr_device); pci_read_config_word (dev, 0x02, (u16 *)&curr_device); printk("Init : After writing to Config space, Current Device id = %x\n", (curr_device & 0x00FFFF)); return 0; } void cleanup_module (void) { printk ("Closing pci \n"); } When I insmod this driver after build, it shows: Jul 20 15:11:03 localhost kernel: Init : Reading and writing Config space......... Jul 20 15:11:03 localhost kernel: Init : Current Device id = c140 Jul 20 15:11:03 localhost kernel: Init : After writing to Config space, Current Device id = c140 Any clues as to why is not writing 0xc145 to the pci config space? curr_device = 0xc145; pci_write_config_word (dev, 0x02, curr_device); Thanks & Regards, D.Giriprasad

Hi All. Just a quick note. Yesterday I bought the above (netbook/6-cell battery/ext. charger) from Noel Leeming at The Base in Hamilton for $379 ALL UP. They tried to push a $99 warranty (Consumer Guarantees Act does this so waste of $$), and MS Word/etc as well hehe. Cheapest I could find this on the ´Net was $430. Brief specs: Intel Atom N570 1.66GHz Dual-Core 1GB DDR3? RAM - Max 2GB. ~250GB SATA HDD NM10 Express Chipset Webcam Sound Bluetooth 802.11b/g/n Wireless Grabbed Kubuntu Netbook iso, created usb boot drive, blew away Win7 Starter, installed fine, sound and wireless appear to work out of the box (no drivers D/L´ed) - can see several other wireless APś in network scan so I´m guessing that means itś working. Bluetooth seems to be working (can see other devices). Not sure when sale ends, so if interested be in quick. Noel Leeming is very close to Dick Smith at The Base. hope this helps someone. Cheers, Elroy. This might help you out :-) Noel Leeming Te Rapa The Base, Te Rapa Road Te Rapa, Hamilton Phone: 07 8500380 Fax: 07 8500381 Open Hours: Mon–Wed 9.00–6.00; Thu 9.00–8.00; Fri–Sat 9.00–6.00; Sun 9.00–5.30. Might pay to ring to check sale still on/stock is there.
