- $ lsusb.
- $ dmesg.
- $ dmesg | less.
- $ usb-devices.
- $ lsblk.
- $ sudo blkid.
- $ sudo fdisk -l.
How do I find PCI devices in Linux?
lspci is a Linux shell command that lists all connected PCI devices regardless whether the respective driver is installed or not. In normal output, the first three hexadecimal numbers (separated by a colon and a dot) specify the device’s B/D/F (Bus, Device, Function).

- The lsblk Command. The lsblk command lists the block devices, their mount point, and other information.
- The df Command.

What are block devices in Linux?
Block devices are characterized by random access to data organized in fixed-size blocks. Examples of such devices are hard drives, CD-ROM drives, RAM disks, etc. To simplify work with block devices, the Linux kernel provides an entire subsystem called the block I/O (or block layer) subsystem.
How to list all connected USB devices in Linux?
The widely used lsusb command can be used to list all the connected USB devices in Linux. $ lsusb. As you can see from the output of the lsusb command in the screenshot below, all the connected USB device is listed. The Bus ID, Device ID, USB ID, and a title is displayed in the output of lsusb command.
Where is the ISA bus on a x86 board?
You didn’t say what x86 board you use, but on non-ancient systems, the ISA bus will be behind a PCI-to-ISA bridge. You can use lspci to find this bridge. The bridge will provide a mapping of the main memory and I/O space to the ISA bus memory and I/O space.
How to read and write from the ISA bus?
The next step is to write a proper kernel module to correctly handle reading and writing to the ISA bus, but now that it’s working that should be a relative breeze! I can only give a somewhat generic answer, but that hopefully will point you in the right direction.
How to access the ISA memory in Linux?
The book Linux Device Drivers, 3rd edition has some information about accessing ISA memory in section 9.4.5. 1) Boot with lilo instead of grub, enable “hole” (ISA-mapping) in BIOS, see if it boots. Yes, lilo still works.
