▼To Set Driver Parameters Using a ce.conf File
1.Obtain the hardware path names for the ce devices in the device tree.
Typically, the path names and the associated instance numbers are in the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
#grep ce /etc/path_to_inst "/pci108e;abba;/pci@4,4000/network@0" 2 "ce" "/pci108e;abba;/pci@6,2000/network@0" 1 "ce" "/pci108e;abba;/pci@4,2000/network@0" 0 "ce"
■In the previous example:
■The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node name in the device tree.
■The second number is the instance number (shown in bold italics).
■The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
■In the device path name, the last component after the last / character and before the @ character is the device name.
■The path name before the last component is the parent name.
■The comma separated numbers after the @ character at the end represent the device and function numbers, which are together referred to as
To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the ce.conf file, use the name, parent name, and the
In the first line of the previous example:
■Name = pci108e,abba
■Parent name = /pci@4,4000
■
In the second line in the previous example:
■Name = pci108e,abba
■Parent name = /pci@6,2000
■
In the third line in the previous example:
■Name = pci108e,abba
■Parent name = /pci@4,2000
■
2.Set the parameters for the above devices in the /kernel/drv/ce.conf file.
