Module Parameters in fmc.ko
***************************
The core driver receives two module parameters, meant to help debugging
client modules. Both parameters can be modified by writing to
/sys/module/fmc/parameters/, because they are used when client drivers
are devices are registered, not when fmc.ko is loaded.
`dump_eeprom='
If not zero, the parameter asks the bus controller to dump the
EEPROM of any device that is registered, using printk.
`dump_sdb='
If not zero, the parameter prints the SDB tree of every FPGA it is
loaded by fmc_reprogram(). If greater than one, it asks to dump
the binary content of SDB records. This currently only dumps the
top-level SDB array, though.
EEPROM dumping avoids repeating lines, since most of the contents is
usually empty and all bits are one or zero. This is an example of the
output:

The dump of SDB looks like the following; the example shows the simple
golden gateware for the SPEC card, removing the leading timestamps to
fit the page:
