- chkpib(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit chkpib(1)
- NAME
- chkpib - Qualcomm Atheros PLC Parameter File Inspector
- SYNOPSIS
- chkpib [options] file [file] [...]
- DESCRIPTION
- The Qualcomm Atheros Parameter File Validator checks Qualcomm Atheros powerline parameter files for obvious errors,
- including obsolete format, wrong file size, bad checksums and read errors. It makes no attempt to check any internal
- information other than file length and checksum.
- This program handles both the older Thunderbolt and Lightning and the newer Panther and Lynx parameter file formats. It
- validates files directly from disk and so it is slower than program chkpib2 but needs less memory at runtime.
- This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. See the AMP man page for an overview and installation
- instructions.
- OPTIONS
- -m Display manifest content, if present. The manifest is a special module, included in some image chains, that con‐
- tains useful information about the chain. This option suppresses the summary 'looks good' message.
- -q Suppresses printing of progress messages.
- -v Print additional information such as the PIB header for each file. This information can be used to confirm pib
- version and distinguish one PIB file from another.
- -?,--help
- Print program help summary on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- -!,--version
- Print program version information on stdout. This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
- Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
- the Linux Toolkit you are using.
- ARGUMENTS
- file The name of a runtime parameter file. By convention, runtime parameter files have a .pib extention but this pro‐
- gram does not enforce that convention.
- DISCLAIMER
- Qualcomm Atheros parameter file structure and content is proprietary to Qualcomm Atheros, Ocala FL USA. Consequently,
- public information is not available. Qualcomm Atheros reserves the right to change parameter file structure or content
- or change the name or behavior of any program that inspects or changes parameter files, in future software releases with‐
- out any obligation to notify or compensate users of such programs.
- EXAMPLES
- The next example reads file abc.pib and validates it. The message shown indicates that the PIB version is recent, the
- file is the correct size, the checksum is valid computes and there are no read errors.
- # chkpib abc.pib
- abc.pib looks good
- The next example reads three files and reports on each one. You can suppress good news with the -q option. Remember
- that "looking good" does not mean "is good".
- # chkpib INT6400.pib AR7400.pib AR7420.pib
- INT6400.pib looks good
- AR7400.pib looks good
- AR7420.pib looks good
- The next example reads three files and displays selected information about each one because option -v is present. Ov
- course, program output could be piped to a file and used for documentation purposes.

- This example prints the manifest found inside newer parameter files. This can be used to distinguish parameter files
- from firmware files, determine exact firmware or parameter file revisions and so forth. Observe that we specified sev‐
- eral files on the command line but only one file, AR7420.pib, contained a manifest.
