💖 XSCOM 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the System Manager's Manual, and it's all about a lil tool called xscom and its buddy putscom. come sit with me, it's giving lowkey iconic hardware energy and i promise it's not scary ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

putscom — part of xscom utils

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's one of the utils that hang out in the xscom family 🫶

🦋 SYNOPIS 🦋

(yes bestie, the original section is literally spelled like that, i'm not fixing it, i'm not touching it, periodt 💅)

putscom [-c | --chip chip-id] addr value

putscom [-v | --version]

so you either go modify a register mode, or you go tell me your version mode. pick a lane, both are valid 💜

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

the putscom utility provides an interface to modify the registers of the different chipsets of an OpenPower system. that's the whole job. she shows up, she writes to registers, she leaves. main character energy fr fr 👑

✨ Options ✨

  • -c|--chip-id chip-id — specify chipset where to modify register at addr with value 🎯 like, tell her which chipset you're talking about, bestie, she's not a mind reader
  • -v|--version — display version of the tool 🏷️ she'll tell you who she is
not me writing to registers without saying which chipset 💀 don't be that girl. use -c.

and that's the whole page, no notes 🌈

this one dropped way back in September 2016, straight from the System Manager's Manual of the xscom utils — ancient, iconic, still slaying. bye bestie, go write some registers responsibly 💅🌸
