go-pcie-tlp-cli

A slapdash cli using go-pcie-tlp

Currently only supports MEMRD and MEMWR. Other types are coming. As is better code :).

To Use

• clone codebase
• cd into pcie-tlp-cli
• go mod init pcie-tlp-cli.go
• go tidy
• go run pcie-tlp-cli.go

Parsing

The only intent of parsing a byte stream of a tlp currently is to check it is well formed. It will echo the bytestream if valid. It will throw an error if invalid. It's current function is only as a debugging tool to check that it is well formed.

Creating/Packing

The intent of Creating/packing is to demonstrate the correct tlp byte stream for the given arguments.

Example of parsing an existing byte capture trying to decode as a memory write

go run pcie-tlp-cli.go --type MEMWR -b "60000002032400ff18aaffeeddccbba8ccccccccffffffff"

If the bytestream is invalid the tool should spit out an error stating which field is invalid

Example of parsing an existing byte capture trying to decode as a memory read

go run pcie-tlp-cli.go --type MEMWR -b "20000002032489ff18aaffeeddccbba8"

If the bytestream is invalid the tool should spit out an error stating which field is invalid

Example of generating a tlp byte array by feeding arguments

go run tlpdecode.go -e --type MEMWR -d "cc cc cc cc ff ff ff ff" --did 03:04.4 --tag 137 --addr "18aaffeeddccbbaa" --len 8"

go run tlpdecode.go -e --type MEMRD --did 03:04.4 --tag 137 --addr "18aaffeeddccbbaa" --len 8"

Known bugs

• Currently the upstream go-pcie-tlp codebase automatically sets tag to 0 regardless of passing in a tag. It is ignored.

Future Improvments

• Add english language printing of the fields in the TLP for Parsing correct byte arrays instead of echo of byte array
