MV6TOOL(8)

💖 MV6TOOL — the mv6tool manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is mv6tool, from the System Management Commands girlies. It's your little backstage pass to the Marvell Link Street registers. No cap, it's giving ✨direct hardware access✨ and we're obsessed.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the vibes, in code form:

mv6tool read LOCATION/REG

mv6tool write LOCATION/REG <0-0xffff>

mv6tool print LOCATION[/REG]

mv6tool print IFACE

and here's the where-clause, the lore, the fine print:

LOCATION
       := IFACE/<port|phy> | DEV/<ADDR|phyN|portN|globalG|serdes>

DEV    := <0-0x1f>

ADDR   := <0-0x1f>

N      := <0-0xa>

G      := <0-2>

REG    := <0-0x1f>

like. it's all there. read it, love it, respect the ranges 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea 🍓 — there are three commands and they each have their own main character energy:

• read and write are just simple register-level accessors. no drama, no frills, they go in and they do the thing. 💅
• print is the fancy one — it pretty-prints a register for you. gorgeous. iconic.

and here's the important bit, bestie: when you're using the print command, the register is optional. if you leave it out, it just shows you the most common registers instead. so you're never left with nothing. it always serves 🎀

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

live, laugh, run these:

mv6tool read cpu0/port/0

mv6tool write 1/global1/2 0x1337

mv6tool print eth2-1

look at that. 0x1337. the leetest of numbers, honestly. 🔥

🙈 REPORTING BUGS 🙈

if something's broken, there's a bug report address. that's the one. that's the whole section. go find it, send your bug, be free 🧚
