    pci_dl_i8ble    -  8-bit memory space download
    pci_up_i8ble    -  8-bit memory space upload
    pci_dl_i16ble   - 16-bit memory space download

    pci_dl_io8le    -  8-bit i/o space download
    pci_up_io8le    -  8-bit i/o space upload
    pci_dl_io16le   - 16-bit i/o space download
    pci_up_io16le   - 16-bit i/o space upload
    pci_dl_cfg8le   -  8-bit config space download

The addressing mode and calling conventions for these functions are described in comments in the source files: $(CAC)/pci/libsrc/pci_piomem.c, $(CAC)/pci/libsrc/pci_pioio.c, $(CAC)/pci/libsrc/pci_piocfg.c.

Fixed a problem in the $CAC/diag/Makefile. This problem caused a compilation error in the pcivme program on systems without the VME6U6 softeare installed.
New FPGA configuration flash files for the PM4600/4700, DM2C31 and IMHDLC modules.

Version 1.3.0 (January 14, 1997)

Note:

pciflashup

The values for module types is modified to accomodate additional modules including custom modules (designed by someone other than Woodward McCoach). This required the data type used for storing module type values to be change to an unsigned int in the PCI_MOD and cfg_info data structures (see <pciutil.h> and <pciioctl.h>. The new values include a Vendor ID in the upper 16 bits of the value.
A new program, pcieecustom, is included to be used when installing new cusom designed modules. This program queries for information about the module and stores this in the module's EEROM. This information is required by the pciinit program.
New functions were added for reading and writing PCI configuration space on modules. They are desribed in the comment section of the source file, $CAC/pci/libsrc/pci_piocfg.c.

New macros for use in specifying the dev_num argument to TDM map functions calls such as pci_tmd_src_add and pci_tdm_dst_add:

TDM_UNIT(n)	This is to be used for modules with multiple TDM interfaces such as the IM2T1, IMHC4 and DM2C31 modules. Pass in a unit number for n to obtain a proper value to be OR'ed with the module number.
TDM_HDLC_SHIFT TDM_HDLC_DRIVE TDM_HDLC_CAPT	These are for adding TDM connections to IMHDLC modules. They are OR'ed in with the module and unit numbers to specify shift, drive and capture operations.

The IM2T1 and IM2E1 diagnostics have been integrated into the pciburn program. Currently only one of each module type per base board is supported.
New flash object file fixes PCI access problems on the IMSCSA module.

Version 1.2.2 (December 18, 1996)

Two ioctl requests were added to the Solaris 2.x version of the device driver:

    PCI_VMEBRDADDR  - obtains the physical VME address of the
                      V6M6 board on which the open module resides.
    PCI_VMEMODADDR  - obtains the physical VME address of the
                      open module on the V6M6 board.

This update requires the device driver to be reinstalled (see V6M6 Device Driver Installation).

Support for the new ioctl requests was added to the pci_ctrl function.
The pcitest diagnostic is updated to support testing these new ioctl requests.

Version 1.2.1 (December 16, 1996)

Modifications to support DM2C31 module subtypes (with 2M or 512K local memory).
A new macro, SCSA_NOCONNECTION, is used as the value returned by the scsa_readconnect function when no SCSA slot is connected to the specified TDM timeslot.
Added TMS320C31 source code for the IM2T1 and IM2E1 tests in the directory: $CAC/pci/modsupport/dm2c31.
New flash object file for DM2C31 modules allows DSP clock of up to 3.2 times the PCI clock frequency and fixes a problem with DMA following DSP reset.

Version 1.2.0 (December 5, 1996)

Note:

Hardware revision numbers have been added to the configuration data structure passed between the device driver and applications. The data is accessable in the following interger members of the PCI_MOD structure:
```
      PCI_MOD *pci;

      pci->config.base_rev    /* hardware revision of base board */
      pci->config.mod_rev     /* hardware revision of the module */
      
```
New set of generic SCSA functions for use with both the IMSCSA module and the baseboard SCSA to be included in Rev 3 of the V6M6. Documentation is not yet available for these functions but descriptions of the functions is included in $CAC/pci/libsrc/pci_scsa.c.

The following functions for the IMSCSA module have new names:

           old name               new name
           sc4000_cfg_write       imscsa_cfg_write
           sc4000_cfg_read        imscsa_cfg_read
           sc4000_route_write     imscsa_route_write
           sc4000_route_read      imscsa_route_read
