mdiodump - Qualcomm Atheros MDIO Custom Module Analyser
mdiodump [options] file [file] [...]
Read one or more binary MDIO program files and output MDIO instructions on stdout. These instructions are suitable as input to program mdioblock which outputs MDIO programs. See the mdioblock manpage for more information.
This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the PLC man page for an overview and installation instructions.
|
-s |
Print summary information on stdout instead of MDIO instructions. |
-t phy_type
Specify the PHY chipset that this MDIO module will be used with. The only supported option arguments are "ar8236" and "generic". Argument "ar8236" indicates that the MDIO register instructions are Atheros AR8236 specific. The AR8236 supports special MDIO registers and instructions in addition to generic MDIO registers and instructions. The default is "generic" which displays instructions as standard MDIO instructions. This option and option -b are mutually exclusive.
|
-v |
Prints additional information on stdout. In particular, this option causes mdiodump to display every MDIO command present instead of just the simulation summary. |
-?,--help
Displays program help information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the command line except version information.
-!,--version
Displays program version information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the command line except help information. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros technical staff.
