lspci not working

[bjozac]

Hi,

I'm a new bubba b3 owner and i can not get lspci to work.
I did
apt-get install pciutils
How ever the pci file is non existing
root@b3:/# cat /proc/pci
cat: /proc/pci: No such file or directory

The part i need to find is 'eSATA host controller chipset ', but would be interested in solving the lspci issue to.

Wrong path

The correct file is /proc/bus/pci/devices. However you should just run lspci to display human readable information from the file. You won't find the eSata host controller in there btw, because this is part of the Marvell SoC that is the heart of the B3.

My output is still empty;
root@b3:/home# cat /proc/bus/pci/devices
root@b3:/home#


And do we happen to know the 'eSata host controller' of the bubba b3?

Yes, there should not be any pci devices unless you have a wifi equipped b3:

Code: Select all

root@b3-media:/home/johannes# lspci
00:00.0 Memory controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88F6281 [Kirkwood] ARM SoC (rev 03)
00:01.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

The SATA controller (which is part of the SoC as gordon points out) is documented in the SoC datasheet:
http://www.marvell.com/embedded-process ... Source.pdf
(there are other documents as well, search the marvell site for 88F6281).

Purely out of curiousity, what are you planning?

I browsed for compatible esata extenders in this forum and it was quite limited and i want a "single tower" hence i do not want to use the external one which is proven to work.
I order from UK an integrated port multiplier from same manufacturer whom did not promise it would work even tough there external one did so he wanted to know exactly which esata controller i was using.
