  21. plcmdio32(1) Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit plcmdio32(1)
  22. NAME
  23. plcmdio32 - Qualcomm Atheros 32-bit MDIO Register Editor
  24. SYNOPSIS
  25. plcmdio32 [options] [device] [device] [...]
  26. DESCRIPTION
  27. Read or write global MDIO registers using multiple VS_MDIO_COMMAND vendor-specific management messages. Commands are
  28. entered using 32-bit register and data values then converted to threeequivalen 16-bit commands. The default operation
  29. is to read a register. Registers are written only if data is specified on the command line. Thsi program replaces pro‐
  30. gram int6kmdio2.
  31. This program writes MDIO instructions using 802.3ae Clause 45 (address, data and mask) format. See program int6kmdio for
  32. a similar program to write instructions using 802.3 Clause 22 (phy, reg, data and mask) format.
  33. This program is part of the Qualcomm Atheros Powerline Toolkit. It replaces legacy program int6kmdio2. See the plc man
  34. page for an overview and installation instructions.
  35. OPTIONS
  36. -a address
  37. The 19-bit global register address. Some devices may not support all possible addresses. Addresses may be
  38. expressed in decimal, hexadecimal or binary notation. Hexadecimal values must be prefixed with &quot;0x&quot; or &quot;0X&quot;.
  39. Binary values must be prefixed with &quot;0b&quot; or &quot;0B&quot;.
  40. -d data
  41. A 32-bit data value to be inserted into the specified register. The specified data value is written when this
  42. option is present; otherwise the specified register is read and the content is displayed. Data values may be
  43. expressed in decimal, hexadecimal or binary notation. Hexadecimal values are prefixed with &quot;0x&quot; or &quot;0X&quot;. Binary
  44. values are prefixed with &quot;0b&quot; or &quot;0B&quot;.
  45. -e Redirects stderr messages to stdout. By convention status and error messages are printed on stderr while primary
  46. program output is printed on stdout. This option prints all output on stdout in cases where this is desired.
  47. -h When writing 32-bit values, write to the high-order register before the low-order register. This option is needed
  48. in cases where the value in one register may affect the interpretation of some value written to the other regis‐
  49. ter. This is not a common situation.
  50. -i interface
  51. Select the host Ethernet interface. All requests are sent via this host interface and only reponses received via
  52. this host interface are recognized. The default interface is eth1 because most people use eth0 as their principle
  53. network connection; however, if environment string &quot;PLC&quot; is defined then it takes precedence over the default
  54. interface. This option then takes precedence over either default.
  55. -q Suppresses status messages on stderr.
  56. -v Prints additional information on stdout. In particular, this option dumps outgoing Ethernet packets on stdout.
  57. -?,--help
  58. Displays program help information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the command
  59. line except version information.
  60. -!,--version
  61. Displays program version information on stderr. This option takes precedence over all other options on the com‐
  62. mand line except help information. Use this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros technical staff.
  63. ARGUMENTS
  64. device The MAC address of some powerline device. More than one address may be specified. If more than one address is
  65. specified then operations are performed on each device in turn. The default address is local. See DEVICES for
  66. information about symbolic device addresses.
  67. DEVICES
  68. Powerline devices use Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. A MAC address is a 48-bit value entered as 12 hexa‐
  69. decimal digits in upper, lower or mixed character case. Octets may be separated with colons for clarity. For example,
  70. &quot;00b052000001&quot;, &quot;00:b0:52:00:00:01&quot; and &quot;00b052:000001&quot; are valid and equivalent.
  71. The following MAC addresses are special and may be entered by name instead of number.
  72. all Same as &quot;broadcast&quot;.
  73. broadcast
  74. A synonym for the Ethernet broadcast address, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. All devices, whether local, remote or foreign
  75. recognize messages sent to this address. A remote device is any device at the far end of a powerline connection.
  76. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.
  77. local A synonym for the Qualcomm Atheros vendor specific Local Management Address (LMA), 00:B0:52:00:00:01. All local
  78. Atheros devices recognize this address but remote and foreign devices do not. A remote device is any device at
  79. the far end of a powerline connection. A foreign device is any device not manufactured by Atheros.
