NAME¶
set6x86, get6x86 - access Cyrix control registers
SYNOPSIS¶
set6x86 [
-hpsc ]
register_index data
DESCRIPTION¶
This utility program allows access to the special control registers of the Cyrix
6x86 processors. This initial manpage is intended to satisfy the lintian
requirements of a Debian package and will be improved after the other serious
issues are cleaned up.
PARAMETERS¶
register_index An index to the specified Cyrix 6x86 config register in
decimal (e.g. '24'), hex ('0x18') or octal ('030').
- data
- The data to program into the specified register
(dec|hex|oct) (or the bitmask for the -s' (set) or -c' (clear)
options).
OPTIONS¶
set6x86 accepts the following options:
- -c
- The data is a bitmask for clearing bits in the
register.
- -h
- The usage information is printed.
- -p
- The output is pipeable (in hex format). Only the contents
of the register is output.
- -B
- We now check /proc/cpuinfo to make sure it is a Cyrix cpu.
This option bypasses the check. It has only been tested on a MediaGX chip
and expects the vender id to start with "Cyrix". This option
allows setting other chips without that string.
- -s
- The data is a bitmask for setting bits in the
register.
