  • MXI Cable

Operating System

  • LabVIEW Real-Time (NI Linux Real-Time)

Issue Details

I want to use the lspci command in NI Linux Real-Time to troubleshoot a MXI issue, but I can only access limited commands. How can I enable all the available lspci command options?

Solution

The default lspci command on NI Linux Real-Time has limited options. To access the full set of lspci options, you need to install pciutils by running opkg install pciutils on your RT target.

 

After installing, you can use the lspci command below on your NI Linux Real-Time system.
