help writing pci firmware
For a project that I'm working on I want to write a low level PCI driver, but I can't seem to find any free/cheap documentation on PCI firmware specifications. I came across the "pci firmware specification 3.0" manual but this costs USD $1000 
. I am not developing a commercial product therefore I can't afford to shell out this much money. Also, one person told me to read the PCI driver sources (that came with the Linux kernel), but I don't want to rummage through hundreds of lines of code. So could someone provide an easier alternative?

Internally speaking, for your motherboard bus. Would it be possible for a usb standard to be used in place of the PCI or PCIe bus that is now nearly standard on all PC's? If not, why wouldn't this work? (8 Replies)
