Pciutils-3.5.5-win32.zip - 32-bit Windows version (runs on both x86 and x64 Windows) pciutils-3.5.5-win64.zip - 64-bit Windows version (only works on x64 Windows) lspci and setpci require Administrator privileges for certain operations - run them in an elevated command prompt on Windows Vista and newer. 'lspci for Windows' - familiar lspci-like tool from Linux in both GUI and CLI form on Windows helps you find drivers for your unknown PCI devices on Windows reports devices with drivers issues. And on windows it's look like this.
Lspci doesn't show a graphics card, lspci grep VGA gives nothing back. Windows 10 Insiders dev build: 20270.1 Dell Xps 13 9310 Bios: 1.1.1 i7-1165G7 32Gb memory. Windows 10’s Anniversary Update added support for Linux environments to Windows 10 back in 2016. But don’t be deceived: this is more than just a Bash shell. It’s a full compatibility layer for running Linux applications on Windows.
. Everything is much, much slower than on native Linux. Several things are completely unimplemented: sound, for example. It’s impossible to run GPU-accelerated programs that use something like CUDA.

How to identify a device > PCI
How to 'identify' the PCI-like devices (AGP, PCI-Express, CardBus, Express Card, etc) that are connected to you computer.
Many people simply use lspci, which is available on every Debian system, to list the device on their computer. Gnome users can install and use the hardinfo method. KDE user can use kinfocenter.
Devices are mainly identified using a pair of hexadecimal numbers, like 1014:003E.
- The 4 first hexadecimal digits are the Vendor ID (1014 = IBM)
- The 4 last hexadecimal digits are the Device ID (003e = 16/4 Token ring)
Actually there is also some sub-vendor-id, sub-vendor-id (to identify the computer/vendor implementation), pci function and class. see references for more information.
Some of the devices (device-ids) handled by Debian are listed in the page : DeviceDatabase/PCI.
lspci
lspci [package:pciutils] is the standard tool to query the devices connected to any pci compatible bus.
Sample output ('-nn' option only works with newer Linux versions):
Notes regarding the example above :
- 104c:ac56 is the cardbus bridge ('controller')
- 1317:1985 is a PCCard (32-bit Cardbus) Ethernet Adapter.
if your device description says 'Unknown device', you can update your local pci-id definition by running update-pciids as root.
man (8)lspci (8)update-pciids
/usr/share/misc/pci.ids - A text file mapping vendor IDs and device IDs to a text description.
You can use grep to shorten the above list:
Under Gnome : hardinfo
Gnomes's System Information (Hardinfo in Menu Applications/System Tools, from package:hardinfo) has an information page on the 'PCI' cards.
Under KDE : KInfocenter
KDE's KInfoCenter (in K Menu / System / KInfoCenter Info Center, from package:kcontrol) has an information page on the 'PCI' cards.
Note: KInfoCenter provides the PCI device names, not PCI IDs.
discover
The discover package has a nice command too:
man discover(1)
discover uses its own files: /lib/discover/pci-busclass.xml, /lib/discover/pci-device.xml, /lib/discover/pci-vendor.xml
/proc/bus/pci/devices
If lspci isn't available (!), you can display the content of /proc/bus/pci/devices to list vendor and device IDs.
/sys/bus/pci
If lspci isn't available (!), you can browse /sys/bus/pci (assuming sysfs is mounted on /sys).
/usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.26/Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt.gz - /sys/bus/pci overview
Wikipedia - PCI
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/ maintains a list of device-id and vendor-id to text mappings (used by lspci, xorg and more).
Linux provides lspci command in order to list PCI bus and devices information. This command will provide brief or detailed information about currently connected PCI devices like GPU, USB Card etc.
We can install lspci tool with the following command to the deb based distributions.
In yum or dnf based distributions we can use the following command which will install the package named pciutils. Fluidsim mac os x download.
We will start with the simplest form where we will do not provide any option to this command. This will print PCI Address or slot information with the device type and vendor information.
Most of the computers have a few PCI interfaces. This may list a lot of information which will jam the output. Or we may be interested in the specific PCI slot of address. In this example, we will print information about PCI slot number 00:10.0 which is SCSI device controller.
Lspci On Windows 10
The default printing format is human-readable format. This means PCI address or slot, vendor and product information is printed in a space delimited format. Machine-readable format is a double quote separated format which can be parsed easily.
Lspci Windows Command
PCI bus provides a lot of information about the PCI connection and the devices. By default, this information is not printed completely. We can print detailed information about this PCI connection and device with the verbose -v option like below.
We can see that for every PCI device information like Subsystem, Flag, Memory Location or Address, Kernel Driver In Use, Kernel Modules, I/O ports etc.
We can also print PCI Slot and Devices information in tag:value format. This will make the information readable like JSON format. We will use -vmms option like below.
Every computer hardware manufacturer has its own vendor and device code or ID. We can print device vendor, class, svendor,sdevice ID with the -n option like below. /universal-serial-bus-usb-controller-driver-windows-7-64-bit-hp.html.
As very PCI device have its kernel module and driver to be used by the Linux operating system. We can list all kernel and drivers with the -k option like below.
We can see that the following information is provided by -k.
- Device Name
- Subsystem
- Kernel driver
- Kernel module
Up to now, we have listed PCI Devices in a line by line or regular format. We can also list the output of the lspci in a tree format with a hierarchical manner. We will use -t option like below.
We can see that some devices are listed under VMware USB controller. /lego-batman-2-dlc-free.html.
Lspci Windows 7
We have already printed detailed or verbose information about the PCI slots. We will use multiple -v option -vv or -vvv . More v means more verbose or detail.
