Configuration File Format
The nvramtool configuration file uses the device description format and is the same format as the pltool configuration file.
# C - CHIP (Master | Slave - Cpld or FPGA), Address, Name, Access
# R - Register, Offset, Mask, Name, RW , Default Val
# B - Bit(s), bitnum(s), Name, RW, Default Val
# I - Information on the bits

opticstool
To check the presence or absence of optic devices, link status, and to read data from the optic devices’ EEPROM, use the
opticstool.
Tests
There are no tests on the optic devices. You can run a brief report that displays the optic presence or shows simple data, such
as the serial number and device type. For more detailed information, use a device report.

Syntax: ./opticstool <option>
--h := show this help
--show[=brief] [--int=interface]:= shows ports and optics status
• show — Shows information about the optic devices. With the brief option, only the ID and presence displays. Without the
brief option, more details display, such as the serial number and device type. If you specify an interface, more detail
displays about that device by reading the EEPROM.
