List pci lanes differentiated by DMI lanes vs directly attached CPU lanes












0















Is there a way to list PCI slots (or their respective devices) and output if that slot is directly connected to the CPU, or goes through the southbridge/PCH?

Is there a way to list PCI slots




Yes, you may look into lspci



man lspci


You can see what bridge is used.
You have different verbose options:
lspci -vvv being the most verbose mode.



You might also get what you want with :



hwinfo --short


Finally, you can list your slots with dmidecode -t 9



And list the on board devices with dmidecode -t 10

  • I also hoped lspci would show me the bridge, but I can't find it anywhere while I list it. Do you happen to have example output which shows the difference between a device connected to the PCH and a device connected to the CPU?

  • It is unclear what you mean with a device connected to the CPU. The CPU is connected to the motherboard. So it is listed as a "device" itself.

  • Well I hoped this clear distinction was made clear in the Question; In the context of pci-express lanes, devices can be directly connected to the CPU, without there being a southbridge/PCH in the communication path. On (intel) consumer platforms it is common that the x16 PCI-e slot is directly connected to the motherboard. Whereas the rest of PCI-e slots are connected to the PCH, which in turn has a DMI conection to the CPU. The DMI connection can be seen as a, often, x4 PCI-e connection. In the case of server platforms, it depends on the vendor how they distribute slots
