PCIe Device and Address Mappings

The PCIe Analyzer remembers the devices and address mappings from a prior boot-up sequence in
order to analyze and decode future traces. You can manually enter all the devices and addresses in

the information for the first port pair listed in the domain. The contents of this tab can also be
retrieved from any PCIe chassis in the domain.

When a capture stops, TraceControl copies the device mapping from the first domain port into the
pre-capture.devices file for the domain so that every capture's pre-capture.device file is initialized
from TraceControl's domain device mapping.
The devices and addresses mapping is mandatory for TraceView and Expert to decode any
protocols over PCIe, such as NVMe or SATA-AHCI. The information is exchanged during the
boot sequence between the host and the devices. It may change from one reboot to the next.
You can fill the device mapping in two ways. First, you can click the "Automatically filling this
dialog" hyperlink at the top of the dialog. When you do, a popup appears instructing you how to
fill the dialog automatically. Second, you can enter the information manually. The buttons on the
dialog's right-hand side allow you to add or remove devices, queues, and addresses.
