Clicker 0.8.20 -- pci detection

Post by Pype.Clicker »

thanks to Whyme_t, we finally have PCI enumeration in Clicker. I've been kinda busy writing the codemonkey tool and a couple of plugins for it. That gives us a fairly general code-rewriting tool :)

Oh, btw, the KDS navigation panel has been remastered too ... you're gonna love it ;)

Get it here, gunzip, cat >/dev/fd0, boot, enjoy :)

Sources will follow in a few days, as usual ...

Oh, btw, to get pci detected, you need to boot fully (Sh+SPace ... ESC), switch to module manager (Sh+F4, Ctl+F5), load "ioman" or "testio" (ENTER when highlighted).

To check what it did, go to KDs panel (Sh+F4, Ctl+F2) and head yourself to system.device.<misc/disk/whatever> ... use arrows to navigate and [ENTER] to enter subsets (white) or objects (light ceylan).

Any report comparing clicker enumeration result and linux/windows/whatever enumeration result is of course welcome.

Hi,

Have tested Clicker, seem to work fine and report pci devices,
The only thing that Could be a problem is that it reports 8 eth devices, Not sure if this is an error or I just dont know what i am looking at. I will have a better look at the rest of it in a while.

running on :
MSI Motherboard
AMD 2600+
Realtak 8139
ATI Radeon 9600
bye

Hmm ... since i'm planning to use RTL8139 as my "reference NIC", i'd be interested by the descriptions of those 8 ETH devices (e.g 'pci id', vendor, class and subclasses)

hi again,

all eth devices report

vendor 0x10ec
class 0x02
subclass 0x00

pci ID's as follows :-

eth0 00-07-00
eth1 00-07-01
eth2 00-07-02
eth3 00-07-03
eth4 00-07-04
eth5 00-07-05
eth6 00-07-06
eth7 00-07-07

Hope this helps
pkd.

Seemed to pick up everything aside from my dvd cd-rewriter which is located as master on ide1.

Had the same problem as pkd with my 8139 compatible onboard NIC. However my wireless NIC only got reported once.

Have given clicker a try on my toshiba laptop and it works fine. :-)

Just a hint: could you, pype, or you, whyme_t, include some module ore just a readme about the usage of this - info panel shower system. it is really a tricky thing to handle without the smallest hint for those not familiar with the interface.

It has detected 8 vga devices, located under kds://system.device.display.pci. Is this an intended behaviour?
reported values: device: 0x00004c4d vendor: 0x00001002. this tupel is registered 8 times.

hmm .. i'll try to provide something like "random tip banner" module ... By the meantime, you may get some help about control panels on http://clicker.sourceforge.net/pixs/snapshots.html

we'll investigate that 8-registered devices too... it seems that the code that distinguish a valid function from an invalid one might need refinement ... ATAPI devices aren't detected so far (hence the burners/cdroms will not appear in system.disk.*)

Hmmm .. that would be a good hint for all the waiters rounda there: a system giving out tips at random *sssffg*. what a source for richdom clicker will be with the random tip banner module *smirk*

in the dictionnaire, there about eight possible meanings for the word "tip". *maaan*

lol. I'll consider updating the page ... check out http://clicker.sf.net/pixs/ if you can't wait (or wanna crawl for secret pixs, etc :))

@BI: i'm not sure i got your point, except in
A. you're actually in hilarous mode
B. I should not have used 'tip' but 'hint' instead ...

By all means, leave the word "tip". It's been a word game, know ya? And I just couldnt withstand the lure.

It seems that our detection routine was missing a test case for some not-so-well-behaving devices. I added the test (headerType!=0x80). Could you be kind enough to re-test with the new image ? If you still see 8 devices instead of a single one, can you tell the "headerType" they have ?
