1	Module Parameters in fmc.ko
2	***************************
3	
4	The core driver receives two module parameters, meant to help debugging
5	client modules. Both parameters can be modified by writing to
6	/sys/module/fmc/parameters/, because they are used when client drivers
7	are devices are registered, not when fmc.ko is loaded.
8	
9	`dump_eeprom='
10	     If not zero, the parameter asks the bus controller to dump the
11	     EEPROM of any device that is registered, using printk.
12	
13	`dump_sdb='
14	     If not zero, the parameter prints the SDB tree of every FPGA it is
15	     loaded by fmc_reprogram(). If greater than one, it asks to dump
16	     the binary content of SDB records.  This currently only dumps the
17	     top-level SDB array, though.
18	
19	
20	EEPROM dumping avoids repeating lines, since most of the contents is
21	usually empty and all bits are one or zero. This is an example of the
22	output:

41	The dump of SDB looks like the following; the example shows the simple
42	golden gateware for the SPEC card, removing the leading timestamps to
43	fit the page:
