Ok. Maybe you can send a patch to add those MSRs to msrtool Holger? Have a look at http://stuge.se/mt.cs5536_pic_divil3.patch for one way to note references in the source files. > Maybe we should remove the intel focus from inteltool and merge the > two utilities, call it systemtool or chipsettool instead?

TODO mentions handling PCI and port IO registers as well, ie. turn the tool into a more generic register decoder. I kind of like that idea. On the other hand then it will very clearly start competing with prettyprint[1] that the Google guys showed us. It looks like a somewhat fat implementation though, which I'm not thrilled about. But they have a nifty user interface, FUSE is a fun twist. I don't know. We were discussing GeodeLink routing on IRC the other day, and how it would be nice to e.g. create a bus graph by piecing together values from various registers, but I'm not sure that kind of complexity should go into msrtool. Or maybe it should? But a generic user interface will be a bit tricky.. msrtool is already option intense. //Peter [1] http://code.google.com/p/prettyprint/ -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
