NAME
xplore - explore the hardware for graphics boards
SYNOPSIS
xplore [-e] [-v] [-b board]
DESCRIPTION
xplore examines the system for the presence of graphics
controller boards. This is done by attempting to
perform an open(2) on the debug port. If successful,
xplore then examines the board to determine its type.
The results of the probe are reported on the standard
output in the form x yyy for each board, where x is the
board address, and yyy is the board type (e.g.,
MVME393, MVME395).
OPTIONS
The following command line options are accepted:
-e
Report the error response from open(2). This may
be useful if xplore fails to report on a board that
you think should exist.
-v
Give a verbose report on each board found.
Information provided includes the board address and
board type and is listed in the form: Board x is an
xxxxxxxx.
-b board
Only generate the report for the board whose
address is board.
NOTE
If an X server is running or a download is currently in
process, xplore will not find the corresponding
board(s). Executing xplore -e will report that the
board is busy.
