NAME
set6x86, get6x86 - access Cyrix control registers
SYNOPSIS
set6x86
[
-hpsc
]
register_index
data
DESCRIPTION
This utility program allows access to the special control
registers of the Cyrix 6x86 processors. This initial manpage
is intended to satisfy the lintian requirements of a Debian
package and will be improved after the other serious issues
are cleaned up.
PARAMETERS
register_index
An index to the specified Cyrix 6x86 config register in
decimal (e.g. '24'), hex ('0x18') or octal ('030').
data
The data to program into the specified register (dec|hex|oct)
(or the bitmask for the -s' (set) or -c' (clear) options).
OPTIONS
set6x86 accepts the following options:
-c
The data is a bitmask for clearing bits in the register.
-h
The usage information is printed.
-p
The output is pipeable (in hex format). Only the contents
of the register is output.
-B
We now check /proc/cpuinfo to make sure it is a Cyrix cpu.
This option bypasses the check. It has only been tested on
a MediaGX chip and expects the vender id to start with "Cyrix".
This option allows setting other chips without that string.
-s
The data is a bitmask for setting bits in the register.
